Less Yesterday, More Today Lyrics - Put Your Ghost To Rest - Kevin Devine

Less yesterday and more today 

I gotta get my head on straight 

The tree trunks rot and people get caught 

Buying bullshit we don't need or want 

Well full forests turn to desert's hot dried dirt 

The animals dig ditches, they hide and watch our backs get burned 

And less yesterday, and more today 

Yea I gotta start livin' that way 

And less yesterday, and more today 

Yea I gotta get my head on straight 

The ground shrinks fast and the spot-lit 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 painting shapes all over the movie I'm watching 

And they mix and match my present with my past 

But the colors are crisp and I press to hard so ink soaks straight through the back 

And less yesterday, and more today 

Yea I gotta start to live, to live that way 

So less yesterday, and more today 

Yea 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 turned my back and my life got too crowded so it's really hard to do that now 

And less yesterday, and more today 

Yea I gotta start livin that way 

And less yesterday, and more today 

Yea I gotta get my head on straight
