lyrics

Our works and monuments are destined to tumble
How easily that the ticking clock does cull
Our handprints in pavement in time crack and crumble
Each frantic heartbeat racing towards certain lull

Despite all the planning, despite breaking sweat
Our denouement is imminent and long been since preset
Despite any pleading, despite constant fret
The hour glass is draining down with no way to reset

Plastic and bone is all out legacy, plastic and bone
Plastic and bone is all we'll ever be, plastic and bone

Our values and ethics will one day be untold
All meaning wiped from each thread on the flagpole
Our warms, refined bodies, once claimed to harbor souls
Is nothing more than the future's fossil fuel

Despite all the dogma, despite our subset
We've misconstrued the centuries with no time to regret
Despite any pleading, despite constant fret
The hour glass is draining down with no way to reset

Plastic and bone is all out legacy, plastic and bone
Plastic and bone is all we'll ever be, plastic and bone
