Crowded Isolation - Kansas

With every step, I hesitate
in a world too fast
It's hard to move beyond my own door
How can I get away
from eyes that are empty
and look inside
to hearts so cold
surrounded by faces
that have no names

I'll take to the streets
Pave a new way
Show some emotion
Alone I can change the reign
of crowded isolation

Cold in the air
Cold to the touch
Is how we live
I bleed in a crowd
and no one that's there
lends a helping hand
Like a silent scream
that falls on deaf ears
does no one care
Why can't they see
who they should be

I'll take to the streets
Pave a new way
Show some emotion
Alone I can change the reign
of crowded isolation

Unable to feel
Sensation is gone
No need to react
When your body moves
no one observes
All expression lost
Inanimate beings
confined in a world
of shadowed walls
Is this the way
we mean it to be

I'll take to the streets
Pave a new way
Show some emotion
Alone I can change the reign
of crowded isolation

From inside our hearts
we need to find grace
Try to reach, make a motion
and try to live face to face
Instead of crowded isolation
