Yesterday

[Verse 1]
These plasticine eyes
Cry their vaseline tears
That's no surprise
It's been only four years
Lost in the mists of time
Drowned in a see of brine
Never to reappear
God, it was only four years

This rusty soul
Made when the winters were cold
Next to your heart
Left by the side of the road
Hypnotized by the strobes
Lightyears away from home
All we have left is time
Time and a songbook of sighs

[Chorus]
And I call you
Oh Yesterday
And I worship the night away
Oh, Yesterday, what the hell has changed
This time of year will leave no one unfazed

[Verse 2]
A crow in a cage
That's how I felt at the time
Plucking away
Full of rage yet resigned
Floored after one last beer
Kicked by the groin by peers
Glad this is only a phase
It's been only four years

[Chorus]
And I call you
Oh Yesterday
And I worship the night away
Oh, Yesterday, can't you see what's changed
This time of year will leave no one unfazed

[Verse 3]
This sham of a grin
Brought when the smiles were on sale
It doesn't convince
It's far too ragged and stale
But on the best of days
It still ignites your face
In memory of the time
Before the fireworks died

[Chorus]
And I call you, oh Yesterday
And I worship the night away
And I call you, oh Yesterday
And I worship the night away
Oh, Yesterday, can't you see what's changed changed
This time of year will leave no one unfazed
