New years resolutions

I hate to repeat myself but all i can do
Is ask the same old questions
Life changes so much in the blink of an eye
Sometimes you've got to catch up with it

Half a year spent in black
Are we riding the tails of a heart attack?
We come and go, we're free to roam
I don't think i'm ever coming back

So go ahead retrace your steps yet again
To find a way to keep every heart beating loud
Roses mark a box that's buried underground
You can't trash determination

Breathe all the air back into your exhaustion
Brandish uneven teeth to smile
Just wear it out, wear it through
Then all these words coming spilling out to you in this disillusion

If this year continues how it's been
You're likely to never see my face again
To find a way to keep every heart beating loud
Until then live it just for what it's worth
And know one day it will come crashing down

I'm told that's life somehow
No more funerals, no more fire and i'll miss all of you
Until the day i die
Have you found your way out of being afraid of sleeping sound
And getting stirred awake as the night gives up

Like the dust that's settled to the ground
Where we walk on burned names until we all fall down
Have you found your way out
