New Year's Eve Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

[Music: D.Gildenlow] 

'Only the tame birds have a longing. The wild ones fly.' 

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? 

Candles burn down 

And in the darkness future comes around 

We smile - all aware 

But never speaking of the masks we wear 

Blind! 

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... 

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... 

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 

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 

Drink the rain 

Open my wounds to heal the pain 

Learn the work of The Machine... 

[II: Spirit of Man]
