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
