Cant Save Your World

i cant save your world for you....
when you dont care enough
to take out the trash.....

when your eyes are blinded
by your stomach, and your ears
hear nothing but the ring of the register....

when your hands, clutching and groping,
never open, never reaching out.
when your ego convinces you

that you're better than all of this;
and your heart's closed for repairs.
when your mind is closed,

and your door is locked....
i cant save your world for you,
because you just dont care!
