From Land of the Brave, Song 6 of 21
Buried in Plastic
"Buried in Plastic" is a stark environmental lament about humanity’s careless consumption and the devastating impact of plastic pollution. Through vivid imagery of contaminated landscapes and silenced ecosystems, the song mourns a world suffocated by waste — where nature is drowned in what we discarded. It’s a powerful call to recognize the irreversible damage caused by convenience and neglect.

Used to throw things, didn’t think twice
Now the ditch shines in neon ice
Bottles, bags, and broken toys
Floating where we fished as boys
Fields blow trash like tumbleweeds
Stuck in fences, choking seeds
The wind don’t howl, it rattles waste
And every gust brings bitter taste
"Buried in plastic"
The land can’t breathe
The sea don’t sing
"Buried in plastic"
Our hands let go
Of everything
The river bends with colors wrong
The birds don’t stay, don’t raise their song
Oceans foam with lies we tossed
And count the lives our comfort cost
"Buried in plastic"
The land can’t breathe
The sea don’t sing
"Buried in plastic"
Our hands let go
Of everything
One more straw, one more bag
One more future in the drag
We paved it smooth, then watched it crack
No trail left to take it back
"Buried in plastic"
The land can’t breathe
The sea don’t sing
"Buried in plastic"
Our hands let go
Of everything
It don’t rot and it don’t fade
Just stays to mark the mess we made
"Buried in plastic"
The land can’t breathe
The sea don’t sing
"Buried in plastic"
Our hands let go
Of everything
It don’t rot and it don’t fade
Just stays to mark the mess we made
