Less yesterday and more today
|
I gotta get my head on straight
|
The tree trunks rot and people get caught
|
Buying bullshit we don't need or want
|
|
Well full forests turn to desert's hot dried dirt
|
The animals dig ditches, they hide and watch our backs get burned
|
|
And less yesterday, and more today
|
Yea I gotta start livin' that way
|
And less yesterday, and more today
|
Yea I gotta get my head on straight
|
|
The ground shrinks fast and the spot-lit strips of houses
|
They look like christmas lights she'd hang in her apartment
|
So I turn my head, I try to watch the screen instead
|
But my eyes go fuzzy and start painting shapes all over the movie I'm watching
|
And they mix and match my present with my past
|
But the colors are crisp and I press to hard so ink soaks straight through the back
|
|
And less yesterday, and more today
|
Yea I gotta start to live, to live that way
|
So less yesterday, and more today
|
Yea I gotta get my head on straight
|
|
Cause I keep ending up exactly where I start
|
A roller rink I stumble through waiting for the songs to stop
|
And I used to drown it out with empty space I found
|
But I turned my back and my life got too crowded so it's really hard to do that now
|
|
And less yesterday, and more today
|
Yea I gotta start livin that way
|
And less yesterday, and more today
|
Yea I gotta get my head on straight
|
