We Installed Today, Today

We installed the past today
To take the place of future

And all your friends came running
You were great

I couldn't believe
That in the recesses of your mind
And skin
I could see the plain, as day, martyr makeup
I couldn't even see
That deep within your pleasures
Was pain

We installed the past yesterday
Overloaded, we fragmented our brains

And all your lies, came calling
You were blank

I couldn't believe
Not even all this time
We had a family that wasn't even mine
I couldn't dream up a punishment
For you
But before you saw me
You knew
(Just what I was thinking)
...
....
...
We installed today today
Pressure pointed on your fate
But passers by won't walk away
When they see

So it's over now
And it's over now
You were blank
