[Verse 1] Tomorrow finally came to collect its due The bill arrived with interest I can't pay Every stolen moment coming back on cue Now I'm drowning in the debt of yesterday Thought I could outrun what I borrowed Thought the ledger might forget my name But the past won't stay in the past when sorrowed And the collectors all came just the same [Chorus] Now I'm paying for yesterday Every loan is coming round The future that I stole away Has tracked me to the ground Now I'm paying for yesterday And there's no way to be found [Verse 2] The account is overdrawn and sinking lower Each day compounds the price I owe No more credit left to get me over Just the weight of everywhere I chose to go Tried to balance books that can't be balanced Tried to stretch what never could extend All those moments taken and advanced Now the reckoning won't bend [Chorus] Now I'm paying for yesterday Every loan is coming round The future that I stole away Has tracked me to the ground Now I'm paying for yesterday And there's no way to be found [Bridge - Desperate, frantic] The interest keeps on climbing While I'm barely staying still The debt just keeps on grinding And I can't outrun the bill I robbed myself to function Stole from days I'd never see Now every stolen junction Has come back to bury me The accounts are all in deficit The reserves are running dry I'm trapped inside the debt I split Between tomorrow and the lie [Verse 3] Lying in the ruins of the time I took Every borrowed hour wants its pound of flesh Can't escape the entries in the book Can't untangle from this heavy mesh The collectors never sleep or tire They just wait until I fall And the debt keeps climbing higher While I've got nothing left at all [Chorus] Now I'm paying for yesterday Every loan is coming round The future that I stole away Has tracked me to the ground Now I'm paying for yesterday And there's no way to be found [Outro] Maybe bankruptcy will clear the slate Maybe I can start again at zero But the creditors don't negotiate And I'm no one's fucking hero The debt just keeps on taking Every bit of what remains And there's no mistaking I'm the one who forged these chains (Paying... paying...) Bound by what I took away (Yesterday... yesterday...) Forever paying for yesterday [END]
