Yesterday's Human Remains Lyrics

Where does it end, when did it begin?

My rat skeleton's been blown by the wind

Laughter fills the cemetery

Old souls once solitary

Made communal once again

I see bristled feelings sharp and shaved

Memories of humans enslaved

Present stains in mortuaries

Studied art in dormitories

Headstones and bones now engraved

Yesterday's human remains

Continue to decay every day

Found beneath the well-trod footpath

Are signs of history's bloodbath

What was lost, what was saved?

When yesterday's human remains fade away?

I'm talking corpses piled up in mounds

Burnt to crisp or pillowed underground

Either/or homes temporary

The past cannot get buried

Muffled footsteps drown the sound of

Yesterday's human remains

As they continue to decay, pass away

Underneath the rot and the maggots

If you can count the caskets

Count yourself lost, count yourself saved

When yesterday's human remains fade away

I'm not lying I really don't know what I'm gonna do

I watched my rat skeleton that's been on my porch for like a year get blown away by the wind

What was won't be again

I know that everything must change

But yesterday's human remains
