Today is now, the present; yesterday is its shadow but what is tomorrow? Always one step ahead, tantalizingly close, but never in reach Tomorrow is a lie i tell myself to help me go to sleep "I'll do it tomorrow." but tomorrow never comes Tomorrow is an illusion, a hologram, virtual and not real It's a vision of a perfect future where we get everything done Tomorrow is the friend that stabs you in the back over and over again Tomorrow is my biggest fear; a procrastinator's nightmare, but imagined like a daydream; an advertisement always leading you along on false pretenses It sinks its claws and teeth into me and even if i know it will never be in reach i continue to preach to tomorrow

Tomorrow
Today is now, the present; yesterday is its shadow but what is tomorrow? Always one step ahead, tantalizingly close, but never in reach Tomorrow is a lie i tell myself to help me go to sleep "I'll do it tomorrow." but tomorrow never comes Tomorrow is an illusion, a hologram, virtual and not real It's a vision of a perfect future where we get everything done Tomorrow is the friend that stabs you in the back over and over again Tomorrow is my biggest fear; a procrastinator's nightmare, but imagined like a daydream; an advertisement always leading you along on false pretenses It sinks its claws and teeth into me and even if i know it will never be in reach i continue to preach to tomorrow
