Pain of Salvation
New Year’s Eve
[Intro]
"Only the tame birds have a longing. The wild ones fly."
[Verse 1]
So once again
Another New Year's Eve will ease our pain
Faith for the few
And rites that will make us so brave, so new
We laugh and we cheer for a Happy New Year
Happy?
[Verse 2]
Candles burn down
And in the darkness future comes around
We smile, all aware
But never speaking of the masks we wear
Blind
[Verse 3]
Turning mirrors upside down
Won't make dust fall off the ground
Hiding wounds won't ease the pain
Sleep won't make you whole again
Change the inside
Drink the rain
[Verse 4]
Dressing our words
Seeing the dirt and flaws inside us hurts
One final glass
A sour taste from our promises
I bid farewell and crawl out of my shell
I'm awake
I see the mistakes I make
Hiding wounds won't ease the pain
Sleep won't make you whole again
Change the inside
[Verse 5]
Today I found a seed of sorrow
The harvest leaves a soil of shame
Now I undress and face tomorrow
And brave I walk to meet the blame
[Verse 6]
I'll search my home outside these borders
I'll run to meet up with the past
A resolution for the new life
This time I know it's gonna last
And I will change the inside
[Outro]
Drink the rain
Open my wounds to heal the pain
Learn the work of the machine
