Yesterday is heavy
A shadow of teeth
And flaws
A burden of bygones
No release from
This prison of thought
It's in the pit
The holes
This shoveled soul
This buried monument
Where half leaves whole
It's in the hooks and chains
The smoke and haze
Where all that was
Is all that stays
Into the corners
Far away from now
Every old mourning
Keeps the peace
And sunshine down
There is no warning
How the beast will sound
Clinging and clawing
Into the past we drown
Yesterday is always
A sound of whispers
And wails
A constant reminder
Sitting in the dark
Darkness prevails
The fire burns
The frail remnants of what's left
Sick, sullen
Falling into shrouds
And shifting grays
Into how our burdens dress
Into the corners
Far away from now
Every old mourning
Keeps the peace
And sunshine down
There is no warning
How the beast will sound
Clinging and clawing
Into the past we drown
Into the corners
Far away from now
Every old mourning
Keeps the peace
And sunshine down
There is no warning
How the beast will sound
Clinging and clawing
Into the past we drown
