lyrics

Somebody Died Yesterday

I raise my glass to the widow in disguise
I raise my glass to the ones who knew you well
I raise my glass to these strangers dressed in black, knowing that,
somebody died yesterday
somebody died yesterday

Halo-headed criminals with personal desires
Children of calamity
their hearts are still on fire
Confusion rid them of their minds again
they must find the time to hide their eyes away
because when seeing is believing
the sunlight splits the haze
Somebody died yesterday
Somebody died yesterday.

When the bully falls I'll be laughing
Man, ain't life unkind?
Agony takes another drag off her cigarette and smiles.
There is always something left to face
Forget about your wounds they'll heal someday
I'll be waiting for my anger
to bleed those beasts away in sorrow
Somebody died yesterday
Somebody died yesterday.

Paper-hearted metaphors seeking where to hide
Branded from existence
reality tells a lie
there is always something left to blame
the rose gets wilted and nothing stays the same
there is nothing left to yell
and less to take away
Somebody died yesterday
Somebody died yesterday

The lonesome ghostly widowed lover
May I kiss the night?
Love was her religion
Truth was her sacrifice.
But who will know just where that truth was laid?
The drunken politician cries today
He once knew all the answers
but now there's nothing left for him to say
but "my buddy died yesterday"
but my buddy died yesterday.

I raise my glass
to the ones who knew your name
I raise my glass
to the ones who felt your pain
I raise my glass
to the ones who played your game
Somebody died yesterday
Somebody died yesterday.
