Epitaph For Yesterday

This epitaph carved out
With a lover’s knife
Into itself inscribed
I save my life
Soft breeze blowing
The swinging bridge tonight
Rocking loneliness to sleep
Another cries out to grieve
I save my life

Father

Here, inside the day
The hours pass, fade away
And you hold onto yesterday
Here, in the hour
The minutes fall, how am I happy?
My body hurts
It hurts to, hurts to be alone

Can you feel the beat
In the back of your heart?
With urgency, it whispers
It whispers to start
There’s an epitaph in our dream
And you see the words
No more, no more, no more tears
For yesterday

Finally
I can hear the sound
Of my own heart beating

Here, inside the day
The hours pass, and they fade away
And you say: No more
No more yesterdays
Here, inside the hour
The minutes fell like the hammer
My body hurts no more
You’re now alone
There’s an epitaph carved out
With a lover’s knife
Into itself inscribed
I save my life
There’s a cool breeze blowing
Under the swinging bridge
You look out and say now
No more yesterdays
I save my life

Finally
I can hear the sound
Of my own heart beating
