Happy New Year

a bouqet of dead sparklers
an illusion of rebirth
of a new continuity

promises promises
I'll make myself do it now
the fireworks was all I needed

ache
where did my years go?
a thousand chances gone
promises promises
to take the next ones

it'll be better this year
they'll be better this year
I'll be better this year
promises promises

don't pretend you've been reborn
don't pretend the champagne changed the world
don't pretend one tick of the clock made you a different person
don't believe it

change isn't that easy
no matter the year
the numbers don't make the change
you do
fight for it

struggle with the rest of us
struggle for yourselves
build your pieces of
blood
sweat
tears
put yourself together

this year
next year
fight
