The story is told of a crack in the door
Just by the skin of our teeth
If we get through it, why did we do it?
The natural tendencies all runnin' free
Boundaries lost in the dust
All of our making, the things we are breaking

You reach for it all when you need it
A warning if any would heed it
They've always been there for the taking
Anyone notice, the things we are breaking
Our habits are old and they don't want to die
Chiseled in stone they remain, never abating
These things we are hating

Monuments stand til the moment they fall
And sooner or later they do
Evaporating, and never creating

They take what they need when they want it
Proud of their prize they will flaunt it
It's always been there for the taking
Anyone notice, the things we are breaking
