Those fast food chains, are they selling happiness?
Can I buy a smile?
Can I obtain an embrace?
No dear, those are food chains.
But, my soul is craving for fuel, strength, and comfort.
Are there any food chains for souls? Yes, there are temples, churches, and a few other labels. Actually, it is a very fruitful profession.
Then why am I feeling so empty, I've been there, I’ve worn their robes, their masks, I've even changed my skin.
I believe, my soul was needy for sincere love, a homemade love.
Darling, do you believe we won our existence?
