New Year's

Have we lost our heads my friend
The way we chased the thunder just to second guess
If plastic crowns were worth our bleeding hands
We stood to fight
And it gets harder to pretend
The soles of my feet love the splinters they accept
Even if I'm guaranteed some strength

It's a rough terrain
For a pathway of life
There is dirt on the table
And fear in our eyes
Yes i know the distance left
Stretches out a thousand miles
But tonight
We'll watch a year in plight

Go up, go up go up in flames
It's all we've got on New Year's Day
The ache in waves of gold will set this dark alight
They'll go up, go up, go up in flames
Scaremongers will despise our names
When countdown ends we'll dry our eyes
Under a man-made starlight as we watch
The year go up in flames

Brother, we must all be fools
To think we've plowed the earth this far to only lose
The dawn shall break to all who won't refuse
To watch this world
Steeped in molten light again
Bleed the colours that were overcome by dread
And so for me I, I won't be misled

We can mine for the day
Or throw hands in the sky
There's never a moment
Where we don't get to fight
You still won't believe our laughs
Outnumber all the tears we cry
But tonight
We'll watch a year in plight

Go up, go up go up in flames
It's all we've got on New Year's Day
The ache in waves of gold will set this dark alight
They'll go up, go up, go up in flames
Scaremongers will despise our names
When countdown ends we'll dry our eyes
Under a man-made starlight as we watch
The year go up in flames

Have we been missing something
All this while?
All this while?
Have we been missing something
All this while?
All this while?
