Pain of Salvation - New Year's Eve lyrics

"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
