Yesterday's Lunch - Lemuria

You were only there because you shared DNA

You wore a mask but I could read your eyes

You were spared the trouble of being an audience

You reflect to the good times, the only times you cared

Yesterday, it was a casket full of loss and love

Today, it’s a safe full of money and fun

Tomorrow will always be yesterday’s lunch

The critic wants to be a writer

The archaeologist never thought she’d be digging graves

Everybody wants more when they already have some

Everybody wants some more of that some

Until nobody remembers yesterday’s lunch

It doesn’t matter that you succeeded

Because you’ll never feel, you’ll never feel

You’re always looking out for your future

But you have as much future as the sands of Sahara

I tried to find a mirage of an oasis

It doesn’t matter, nothing’s stirring in the weeds

Everybody wants a lot when there’s only enough

The loss, the love, the money, the fun

And a pound gained from yesterday’s lunch

It doesn’t matter that you succeeded

Because you’ll never feel, you’ll never feel

It’s not enough that you succeeded

Because you’ll never feel, because you’ll never feel

It’s not enough that you succeeded

Because you’ll never feel, because you’ll never feel

Because you’ll never feel successful until all of your friends fail
