John Thomy - New Years

lyrics

Glowing embers from this heart attack of flames
never felt as good as this hall of fame of names.
Where do I go from here? There's no one that I know around me
except for TV sets and broken matches struck on the pavement.

Every now and then I contemplate the days waited.
I cannot help but think that they're overrated.
Now you want it all.
Now you want it all.

Suppressive mind state never hesitates.
Watching the walls fall in.
The only thing that makes sense are these clouds breaking over fields.
The never ending stain of rain.

Every now and then I contemplate the days waited.
I cannot help but think that they're overrated.
Now you want it all.
Now you want it all.

I take too long to do anything right.
I'm always wrong, fearing doubt on the inside.
I just want you to be proud of my life.
The friends and the people I've met in the meantime
are all catching on to the music I make.
I try to explain that it's just give and take.
and then they refrain, "you're selfish and fake
how could we believe you?"
I guess they paid for that mistake.

"Well who are you and what have you done with John?"
I'm just afraid. Not anyone needed me.
"You give and take! Turn love to hate!"
I never owed you anything.
"Look what you've done! Look what you've done!"
I didn't think it was possible.
"Your hands are red! Your hands are red! There's no way you can wash them off!"

Now I've got big shots and chances
and lost romances gone awry.
And I am caught wondering
if I will take them or just let them pass me by.
