Yesterday Told Me
Yesterday Told Me (1/18/2008)
My footprints are cast in this melted concrete
Warmed by the anger that’s simply got me
You can’t stop me tonight, it’s me and my hatred
Venom in veins that are too sick to take this
Comatose, faithless, and a little impatient
I work to the bone, but it seems like I waste it
The rage, I can taste it, I’m too weak to face it
It consumes every thought until everyone’s faceless
Like this kid that I hate, that one on her mind
The one I don’t know, but I hate down inside
A hate found in pride, a face bound in mind
It’s one to erase, my faith drowned in time
As I raced down the line and chased every sign
Love behind steel, it’s the gates of my eyes
The tape of the lies that I faced in my life
A forecast of pain that replays in my mind
As I take the design of this perfect connection
My mind mixes in all the hurt and rejection
‘Til I see her with him and I curse this dejection
I know every word in this verse, this infection
And at worst, this direction, will leave me so lonely
But that’s like a death to all those who know me
Love in a heart, but a nightmare to hold me
Tonight I could die cause yesterday told me
Notes: I trust her, but my mind won’t stop producing the worst case scenario to play over and over again for me to watch. It sucks.
