New Years Resolutions

I hate to repeat myself

But all I can do is ask the same old questions

Life changes so much in the blink of an eye

Sometimes, you've got to catch up with it

Half a year spent in black

Are we riding the tails of a heart attack?

We come and go, we're free to roam

I don't think I'm ever coming back

So go ahead, retrace your steps, yet again

To find a way to keep every heart beating loud

Roses mark a box that's buried underground

You can't trash determination

Breathe all the air back into your exhaustion

Brandish uneven teeth to smile

Just wear it out, yeah, wear it through

Then all these words coming spilling out to you in this disillusion

If this year continues how it's been

You're likely to never see my face again

So just in case, farewell my weathered friend

So go ahead, retrace your steps, yet again

To find a way to keep every heart beating loud

Until then, live it just for what it's worth

And know one day it will come crashing down

I'm told, that's life, somehow

What we've lost this time cannot be found

Were all in the corners hiding our faces now

No more funerals, no fire

And I'll miss all of you until the day I die

No more funerals, no fire

No more funerals, no fire

Have you found your way out of being afraid of sleeping sound?

And getting stirred awake as the night gives up

Like the dust that's settled to the ground

Where we walk on buried names until we all fall down

Have you found your way out?
