If Tomorrow Already Were My Yesterday

Has your day began?
A day where yesterday is never for tomorrow
Because the end can be undone
For what is begone shall you behold

Lies becoming truth with a difference
All that was known too well in absolute deceit
With our mind we forgive what the body cannot learn
Yet to unlearn all there were why did we not plead?

Slowly but surely we all will fall to place
Seeing an ever-changing perception with eyes anew
Before long were moments too late to chase
For the world will again be once more we never knew

Already changing during our failure to understand
Left behind while we move thoughtfully ahead
To have the time now and never the time when
Isn't your future you see with a past forever too late?

My yesterday was gone
Because tomorrow has ended my today
And I behold what I cannot hold on
If tomorrow already were my beginning yesterday
