Regarding my ultimate demise

An earthquake one told me I wouldn't live forever
So I wrote back a strongly worded letter
I shout into the night it's your turn to apologize
And it shouts back, it's not your right to survive"

If I were plastic I'd melt under the sun
If I were metal I'd go back to the heat where I was from
If I were glass I'd break
And if I were religious I would pray

If I were dirt, I am dirt I am filth I am the earth
If I were sin, I am sin but I'm not sorry I'm just human
If I were anything at all
I would probably just dissolve
