Bones Are Eternal

As the tick tock of time starts catching up with me Soon these bones will be older as the cracks appear to see Like a wine maturing so does my mind Knowing full well I'll have to leave it behind Ironic really striving to be the best I'll end up on a pile with all the bones at best Will I return, that is unclear Yet worrying over that wont help me here Will i meet my dear departed That left the earth before I Which journey should I take on this path where i die I've watched the world change along with surprise Seen the rain forests dissapear watched the sun start to rise Watched the waves engulf the shore Then disappear into the still calm waters once more I've sat with the rich and dined without a dime Sinned with the sinners and drank their fine wine Yet the beauty I have is fragile I know As I'll never see any of this again once I go Fill my eyes with more than the seven wonders Ill take all you can show me and more I want more All the riches you can keep I want more So much more for me to be I want more All the memories I can hold Is this life eternal Or will I just get old
