This is a failure that reflects
The lack of care you have for others.
This is the failure that
Demonstrates the bitterness of
The pale-hearted.
The failure that speaks back,
That shakes the hand of our
Acrid enemies and welcomes
Our soulless past with open
Arms.

This is the failure you prayed for.
This is the failure you sing.

You'll find no loyalty to a country in me
A body of land is a body of land
And that is all it will ever be.

You'll find no tether to a grave with me
Mistakes were made for which must be paid
But before it's due, I will flee.

You'll find no tearful denials in my speech
The people have done what they thought they must
And that has never shocked me.

You'll find no willful positivity in me
The hand we've turned will be a lesson learned
Wether it be joy or misery.

You'll find little else but solidarity
My morals are my country
My strength is my mentality
My freedom, my nationality

You'll find little else but the strength to temper your mistakes
With stoic resignation I will watch
As this country breaks, it breaks.

Never could she keep up with the days goings on
And waiting for tomorrow takes far to long
As she tries to be happy with the moment of here
Though she's much more comfortable as Yesterday's Girl

Lays the day out on the table hoping the setting looks right
Slicing the hours like a piece of peach pie
There is always tomorrow in a perfect world
But you take your chances being Yesterday's Girl

There seems to be lacking when the day rolls around
Without even asking, raising questions of doubt
Tomorrow may know but tomorrow won't tell
Life can be a bit confusing when you're Yesterday's girl

Let me be the angel
That guides you into joy.
Let the pulsing of my heart
Be your only noise.

Let me be the harpist
That strums away your pain.
Let me be the poet
That bleeds stanzas in your name.

Let my hands be your only
Escape into release.
Let this love of mine
Bring you inner peace.

And if you are to weep,
Let me wipe away your tears.
And if you ever cower,
Let me eliminate your fears.

so ****** doomed, destiny defeated
we need what we please, not what is needed
searched for something new and never succeeded
we even said please and begged and pleaded

there can't be no doomsday deleted
we cheat each other, it's we who are cheated
more reckless reasoning is repeated
can't stop the cycle, nearly completed
