Yesterday Is Gone

Cold sweat on a subway
Think I could sleep for years
I might never wake up
And I drink the night like tears

Whispering to nobody
The air's too quiet to breathe
Blinked and ten years went by
Still, I smile with my teeth

Don't let the bad guys win
If it all goes well, I'll never see them again
Clear the clouds out of the sky

To come out alive
We have to play dead
The irony is killing me
Faster than my heart can beat
The days are getting long
And years are shorter now
Yesterday is gone
But life goes on

They said to be honest
Never put up a fight
I can't shake this feeling
Much less try to simplify

And even if I could
Tell me, what would I say?
"I can't get out of bed?"
"I'm just really sad today?"

I needed a hero
Not no fairytale, I went and did it myself
Who needs a savior anyway?

To come out alive
We have to play dead
The irony is killing me
Faster than my heart can beat
The days are getting long
And years are shorter now
Yesterday is gone
It's been all along
Yesterday is gone
Is that so wrong?

I'm trying to keep it together
Let it rain, can I handle the pressure?
I'm trying to keep it together
Let it rain, I know I can do better

To come out alive
We have to play dead
The irony is killing me
Faster than my heart can beat

The days are getting long
And years are shorter now
Yesterday is gone
But life goes on
