Yesterday was Hard on All of Us.

The structure of a tragedy and the fate of an epic
Within these lines you built a humble and false abode
With all the stories of glory and valor, you quietly wept last night
Don't worry no one else saw, yesterday was hard on all of us.

Trembling in the cold, surrounded by fireworks of happiness
Shaking and shutting in to all that is loud. They set fire to your little bed
And chased away your pet, with no calm or peace sleep refused arrival
Don't worry it had to happen, yesterday was hard on all of us,

As the door opened to her son's room, the sight shook her life.
Death, relief to one and suffocation to another. Staring at a faded
Picture all night, you refused to go out. O helpless mother
Don't worry he must be happy, yesterday was hard on all of us.

No home to go, no one waiting on you. Loneliness manifests manifold
On days like these. You looked at pictures, let your heart wander across miles.
A drink for the company, and a song for memory. Sleep alone, again.
Don't worry it will be over soon, yesterday was hard on all of us.

Dressed up and embellished, prepared for a celebration.
Like a mannequin, he places you where you look best. And despite
Your little battles, you lose even worse today. Marriage, your sanctified murder.
Don't worry it might hurt less, yesterday was hard on all of us.

I chose it as the right time. To drown and surrender.
Another drink and another smoke, few last indulgences.
Lost love, anticipated dreams, merciless oblivion and terrified mornings.
Don't worry just one more fight, yesterday was hard on all of us.
