Less yesterday and more today
I gotta get my head on straight
The tree trunks rot and people get caught
Buying bullshit we don't need or want
Well, full forests turn to desert's hot dried dirt
The animals dig ditches
They hide and watch our backs get burned
And less yesterday, and more today
Yeah, I gotta start livin' that way
And less yesterday, and more today
Yeah, I gotta get my head on straight
The ground shrinks fast and the spot-lit strips of houses
They look like Christmas lights she'd hang in her apartment
So I turn my head, I try to watch the screen instead
But my eyes go fuzzy and start painting
Shapes all over the movie I'm watching
And they mix and match my present with my past
But the colors are crisp and I press to hard
So ink soaks straight through the back
And less yesterday, and more today
Yeah, I gotta start to live, to live that way
So less yesterday and more today
Yeah, I gotta get my head on straight
'Cause I keep ending up exactly where I start
A roller rink I stumble through waiting for the songs to stop
And I used to drown it out with empty space I found
But I turned my back and my life got too crowded
So it's really hard to do that now
And less yesterday, and more today
Yeah, I gotta start livin' that way
And less yesterday, and more today
Yeah, I gotta get my head on straight
