less yesterday, more today
yeah i gotta get my head on straight
and tree trunks rot
and people get caught
buyin bullshit we dont need or want

while full forests turn into deserts
hot dry dirt
the animals dig ditches
then hide and watch our backs get burned

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
the spotlit 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 paintin shapes all over the movie im watching

and they mix and match
my present with my past
but the colours are crisp and i pressed too hard
so the ink soaks srraight to 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 turn my back my life got too crowded
so its 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
