lyrics

I tell myself that I’ve no need for resolutions
But still each night I’m having the epiphany
I’ve had a thousand times before
That I need to change when my goals seem so clear
So I watch the clock pass midnight each night
And ring in the New Year

When this countdown leads to nothing
I find myself in the same old way
With my sights set upon something
I’ll never reach unless I change

The promises I make to myself
Get broken every morning
The cycle of absolution
Will keep me from moving

I reach for inspiration to hold on to
A foothold of motivation
So I can climb towards what I always wanted
While there’s still time

I tell myself I’ll sleep when I’m dead
If someone is there to wait by the bed
To restart my heart in time to wake
With the alarm before morning breaks

The sun will rise and sets in secret, behind these walls
My mind won't take notes from regret

I build myself to nothing, to noone
And I fill myself with something I can’t hold on to

Another day with nothing to show
What’s inside my head, so I’ll never know
If I can achieve what I think is me
Or live inside with my apathy

The sun will rise and set in secret behind these walls
And I make myself complacent with all my flaws
My head won’t let me get done what I said before I’m dead
I tell myself I’ll change, this time I mean it
