lyrics

Today I saw the lights
And wondered where I've been
I lost all of that time
When I was so vacant
No more appeal to me
The future looks so bland
Here's to another year
Of wasting the time I have

To the new year
To the new year
To the new year

Look who crawled out of their cave
An odd occurance, you look so strange
Where have you been all this time
You threw it away and wasted your life
It's so sad to think about
Who you could be today
Now it's all in the past
You can't change it anyway

I can't see why I need to care about the New Year
It's all a waste of time, I don't mind my state
How are you new today when you just make your old
Mistakes again never learn to grow

Today I stopped being
Surprised by turns for worst
After getting stepped on enough
It's what you come to expect
Hoping for something good
Is just a waste of time
Life loves to spit in your face
Good people get put in their place

A race against a melting clock
You're much too slow for catching up
Your body withers away
A painful decay as your life is drained
Inside you feel the same but
The outside world keeps running away
Just how did we get here
Falling from grace to disintegrate

I can't see why I need to care about the New Year
It's all a waste of time, I don't mind my state
How are you new today when you just make your old
Mistakes again never learn to grow

Really great noise rock from a band/artist that I give my eternal support. A really great album overflowing with personality that's in your face and doesn't back off. Formerly of deblimp.bandcamp.com Neopoliten

Sun Soaking
by lobsterfight

Chamber pop emo/math rock that's filled with excellent dynamics that seamlessly switch between minimalism and full-force maximalism. The vocal style here is powerful and really unique. Neopoliten
