Tomorrow, how I hate you...
I really have to say-
So many more just like you...
Have all turned to yesterday.

The promise held before me-
I clung to like a trust...
Alas, you leave me empty...
In my mouth the taste of dust.

Grabbing for a future...
I knew could never last...
My dreams have turned to nightmares
Now half-buried in the past.

The championship I never won-
The place I never owned...
A victim of tomorrow's lies-
Today I'm all alone.

Tomorrow you're a trickster...
The truth you cannot tell...
You paint a scene of Heaven...
Then you plunge us into Hell.
