100 Resolutions

Where have I been all your life?

Sitting on fences, a novocaine for all the senses

Another year will pass us by

Making sense of nothing, in defense of something

I laughed too late

And dug myself into a grave

This year, I'll try not to think too much

This year, I'll try to stand up for myself

This year, I'll live like I've never lived before

This is my year, for sure

Another stupid, clumsy story

More accidental aspirations

Another explosion of silence

I think I'm going deaf or maybe I'm just hearing less

This year, I'll try to only listen to myself

This year, I'll try not to think too much

This year, I'll try to stand up for myself

This year, I'll live like I've never lived before

This is my year, for sure

I wonder where

You'll be bringing in the new year

As midnight clocks are singing

Good chance I'll be slobbering somewhere

Probably pass out wasted

And sleep until the smoke clears

Vague memories of midnight flash in tune to morning sunlight

I'll wake up knowing you'll never be there

I've got one hundred resolutions

But I've got no solutions

I've got one song I write a hundred times

And only a dozen or so rhymes

This year, I'll try not to drink so much

This year, I'll try to stand up straight

This year, let's live like we've never lived before

This is our year, for sure
