yesterday was the first day I saw you for who you really are, for who you've always been and I cant say that I'm all that surprised terrified you sat and shook while the world swallowed you whole yesterday I saw the sky open and as the floors of heaven gave out, I saw a thousand glowing souls they didn't say anything they just waited so I opened up my mouth and asked for them to answer me what is the colour of blindness and just how far do you have to fall before you don't feel like falling anymore yesterday I was married to a holy ghost yesterday she sang to me till i fell asleep yesterday I held every inch of the universe in my hand but I gave it all away, and now I cant remember why yesterday everything seemed so easy and simple and meaningless and sad it was beautiful and bright yesterday was a different world than it's been today the sun has already gone down and I'm waiting in the parking lot musing about the joy and ignorance of a former world I'm not quite sure if I'm waiting for another day like yesterday

today is 02:22
today's another day, it's just like any other day the sun is boiling hot and the sky is a blinding grey and I woke up this morning, just like every other morning for the past five years, god knows i still feel the sam convince myself to hold on to something just hold on to something wrap your hands around anything you can find pretty soon you will be nothing at all today I fell into a bottomless well today I fell asleep in hell it was an afternoon nap I wont soon forget today my bloody finger tips were excommunicated by gods lips my hands they are unholy, oh my god they are unholy so just hold on to something just hold on to something wrap your hands around anything you can find pretty soon I will be nothing at all there is a brooding blackened skyline over the city we call hell watch the borders keep expanding as they are filling up their cells and the man holding the shotgun for when the sinners try to run says "give me blood, give me blood, give me blood" so just hold on to something just hold on to something wrap your hands around your own neck if you can swing it pretty soon I will be nothing at all oh my god, I've become nothing at all

tomorrow will be the greatest day I've ever lived so long as tomorrow stays a day away tomorrow will be a beautiful blue painting that I will hang in the house I've not yet dreamt of tomorrow will be thursday tomorrow I'll be falling out of aeroplanes and hopping on north bound trains to canada tomorrow I'll be shooting holes in the atmosphere with my body and I will suffocate in space and I will become the first bleeding satellite and there will be no applause, no one will stand in awe as I become the one and only anything tomorrow I will find myself completely lost tomorrow I will keep on walking anyway tomorrow i'll forget the words to every song I've written and sing what I've been meaning to say and everyone will sing along just like they do in my dreams and we won't stop until we've had our fill there will be blood in our throats my hands will play until they're broke every line like hallowed sound propagation and there will come a silence a deafening unsettling sweet silence and it will wash away with everything wash away along with everything because tomorrow is the rest of my life at some point tomorrow will be the day that I die tomorrow will be the greatest day I've ever lived so long as tomorrow stays a day away
