From the distant past
McDonald's plastic straw in original wrap
From the ones who lived far away. A long time ago.
Those who felt so lonely.
So anxious about the future.
So tired of constantly reaching for more.
So empty of hope in the world that felt hostile.
And one day they were gone.
They knew we will never hear their stories, never dream the dreams they had.
But they left these strange artifacts to survive far into the future.
Scattered on the lands, floating in the oceans.
For when they knew the end was near, all they wanted was to be remembered.
We will take care of their home, for they have failed.
