Anthropology
All those trinkets on the shelves
Say so little about ourselves
But for the dust they collect
And the pictures on the wall
Capture moments to recall
For the ones they affect
The days will pass
And the nights will last
Only so long as we're asleep
And the memories shared are only ours to keep
If flames engulfed everything
See it rise and disappearing
With the ash and smoke in the air
Would we be meaningless
With nothing tangible to express
That we were ever there?
The days will pass
And the nights will last
Only so long as we're asleep
And the memories shared are only ours to keep
Is it chemical or bone,
Flesh or wood or stone?
And would it change a thing?
Would it change anything...
In five hundred years time
All the pieces left behind
Anthropologists will define
Say so little about ourselves
But for the dust they collect
And the pictures on the wall
Capture moments to recall
For the ones they affect
The days will pass
And the nights will last
Only so long as we're asleep
And the memories shared are only ours to keep
If flames engulfed everything
See it rise and disappearing
With the ash and smoke in the air
Would we be meaningless
With nothing tangible to express
That we were ever there?
The days will pass
And the nights will last
Only so long as we're asleep
And the memories shared are only ours to keep
Is it chemical or bone,
Flesh or wood or stone?
And would it change a thing?
Would it change anything...
In five hundred years time
All the pieces left behind
Anthropologists will define
