This Is Yesterday

Do not listen to a word I say
just listen to what I can keep silent
the only way to gain approval
is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
I stare at the sky
and it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
and this is yesterday
someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
houses as ruins and gardens as weeds
why do anything when you can forget everything
I stare at the sky
and it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
and this is yesterday
