JAY KILA lyrics : "Yesterday"

Yesterday I forgot who I was
What I wanted to do and everything that I loved
Forgot why music was fun and all the stuff that I'd done

Disappeared in my mind like the powder on my gums
Numb floatin' above the bed up in my room
Wondering when I'm gonna come down this wasn't cool

I could see myself lying still like a l-log
There was nothing I could do except start praying it stopped
But it didn't I was in it finished passed my limit

And there was no escaping this all I could see was an image
Of little me as an infant - I wanted that back
Cuz now it seemed everything had changed with one single act

Trapped in my synapse I really thought this was it
Damn I guess I wasn't gonna see 26
My personality split my former self was gone

An empty shell what the hell was I gonna tell my moms?
Compelled I tried to yell but no sounds came out
Silence suffocating me and mufflin' all my shouts

The anxiety was quietly takin' over my mind
Annihilating any hopes that I'd make it alive
Why'd I have to give in? Man we shoulda just gone home

But now tonight seemed like a million years ago
Every decision I made became a distant memory
And the dreams that I had were forever erased

P-p-p-pound my heart beat was moving at light speed
Hair standing on my neck I could barely breathe
I couldn't bleieve that this morning I thought my life ain't great

Cuz at the moment all I wanted was yesterday
Do I call someone? I feel the walls closing in
Who's gonna pick up their phone? It's $#&@ing 5 am

And if I called home they would know somethings up
And all the trust I had rebuilt would crumble into the dust
$#&@ - this is nuts now the sun's coming up

And I'm never sleepin' again cuz my eyes won't shut
And when they do all I see is darkness doom
A kaleidoscope of emptiness filled with tombs - %#@!

I slip plummeted in the abyss
Visions of my life flashing there were not enough tits
I thought of how all my friends keeps saying we're gettin' old

But right then I knew I still had a lot of youth to go
And to leave right now seemed way too soon to me
I never even said goodbye to my family

I never got to do the stuff I would keep putting off
I shoulda talked to more girls and recorded more songs
Too late I was deep in the caves of my mind

And looking around there was gonna be no way I could find
A way out the lights they stayed out
The music fades out as my final scene plays out

And it's just me - lying really still in my bed
Thinking bout what I should have been doin' instead
Yesterday - but now yesterday is gone

And I'm a figment trapped in imagination
