Yesterday

A future we have already lived
A gift only for us to give
A torn paper stuck on the wall
A life that's mine to call
A person that I could've been
A place that I could not have seen
A comic touch, a tragic joke
A floating tail made of smoke

Yesterday
It was all here Yesterday
And I saw it all going away
Yesterday

A plastic bag in the wind
A horizon with a sepia tint
The Paper cups and vertigo
A million words that I can show
A day well passed in the life
A struggle with a shadow knife
A tale of horror and romance
A lost chance for the last dance

Yesterday
It was all here Yesterday
And I saw it all going away
Yesterday

A happy soul and no worries
And changes coming in a hurry
A cup of tea no longer warm
A memory to hold in your arms
A time to correct our lost ways
And the chance to do it was Yesterday

Yesterday
It was all here Yesterday
And I saw it all going away
Yesterday

The Twilight of The Superheroes

Take the time to turn around
And look back at what has been
Stepping out of teenage wasteland
And start living in our dreams


The biggest days of our life
Are all scattered in those years
And they've passed by in a flash
Creating our hopes and fears


A time for us to stop and think
And savour the last dance
To take the first step of life
An everlasting College romance


And years from now the best wish
To marry your College sweetheart
With only a chance to finish
And no yearning for a start


We are all superheroes
Without capes, powers or masks
But we all have our regrets
A million unfinished tasks


The twilight descends upon us
And the climax has no war
To fade away and yet to shine
And play our parts in this short tale


The twilight of the superheroes
A time to shed our alter egos
A time to return to the breakdown
And be done with our dreams
