Happy New Year

I never want to look back again on the events of 2010.

I can't escape what's in my head. T

here's no repentance when I've served my sentence.

The candle's burning at both ends.

Winter's cold and I'm dreading coming home,

far from anyone I know at all.

Never felt so alone

because the hope of Spring died with the Fall.

I can finally feel content.

I can't help but smile when I know

things can't get worse than this.

I see things clearly and I loved them dearly.

A timeline stained with tragedy and death.

The clock keeps turning faster when

the candle's burning at both ends.

Rub these dark circles from my eyes,

a brighter future's on the rise.

I'll leave commitments pending.

The worst year of my life is ending.

I watch the dates expire, caught in a flicker of a fire.

The hands are turning 'round,

the hours counting down, and it's all over now.

All that I had burned to the ground.

All that will never be,

I watched it die in front of me.

A living nightmare was born in this year.

There are dark clouds all around me

and I couldn't see the sun even if I tried.
