A Family of Phones

Family of phones without the time
I can't hear you beween the lines
Wireless hearts, disconnected
Distraction and distance have corrected
A thousand times,
Our silent crimes
Of not reaching out and touching someone.

Oh, I've got your number!
I know how you really don't feel
We just pay diplomatic "respects"
And the telephone bill.

A Family of Phonies
Says, Love you, gotta go
And spend time with strangers
That they will never know.
