Yesterday's Tomorrow, Today

Yesterday's Tomorrow, Today
I built my house
Firm upon a foundation of sand
Piece by piece building a shell of a man
Bottle of wine
Warm my spirit while I have time
Thinking I am wise
Safe in my room with a view

I am the king of
Lies that are loyal unto me
If I stay in my kingdom
I make the rules so
I pick the fools
And I know it won't be me

Big fish is me
In an ocean the size of a seed
Swimming the shallows of my piety
Sun in my eyes
I avert them to buy me some time
Longing for the deep
Safe in my pool, nothing new
