explicit lyrics
Lyrics
Yesterday the world seemed so much brighter
and I felt far more sprightlier in every single way
Yesterday the world seemed so much better
I felt far more go-getter but tomorrows now today
Tomorrows now today
Yesterday my circle was so much bigger
But I guess death has to figure along the way
Yesterday I felt so much happier
Its a lie I tell myself because its crap
To admit that nothings changed
I’ve always felt shit
I’ve never fitted in
I’ve never followed my dreams
Going through the motions stuck in the machine
Yesterday’s tomorrow is here today
So much for my potential its clearly gone to waste
So why today am I so sentimental
When its just a fucking mental
Trap I spring and can’t escape
‘Cause yesterday is a pure fantasy
A distortion of reality
‘Cause I’ve always been a nobody
Yesterday’s tomorrow was meant to be today
But all I can see are problems in my way
There was a time
Oh shut the fucking hell up
That’s exactly why my life sucks
The pasts sucking me dry
Because my yesterday
Was never the perfection
I make out in recollection
It was predominantly pain
Abandoned and dejected
Unrequited and rejected
Insecure instability
Suffering fucking with my memory
Because today is all that really matters
A fresh chance to break the patterns and make the fucking change
Yesterday’s tomorrow has never be today
I’m done with looking back the futures where I’ll face
Because by today’s tomorrow I’ll have started out anew
With no regrets, no rose-tinted specs
Only hope to get us through
Only hope to get us through
