WOW!
That's intense. It sounds like you wrote about something you actually experienced, although I hope you didn't. It's hard to describe what I felt. One the one hand the text is very sad, but on the other hand there seems to be hope right around the corner. The images were very strong. I don't know the "Something Corporate"-song but you really made me wish to listen to it. I might go and check it out at my record store. Well done! Really!
P.S.: "Balance Lost" is finished, just in case you still want to know how it ends.
