[Verse 1]

It’s the absence of sound
Lugging garbage bags around
14 hours down, handful of ground
dirt, burying the coffin of hurt
See the line and flirt

It’s the absence of soul
Digging a dirt less hole
Autonomous corpse with one goal
Waiting for the sun

It’s the work and no play
It’s pushing on no matter what they say
It’s the fucks you wish they gave
It’s the hands you wish you’d played

It’s the life you wish you’d made

And you want to throw it away

[Pre-Chorus]

How’s that?
How’s that?

[Chorus]

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile
Talk about it, That ain’t my style

New Years Eve, New Years Eve

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile
Talk about it, That ain’t my style

New Years Eve, New Years Eve

The Night is young, the night is fun
Why you walking ‘round like you ain’t done
The night is young, the night is fun
Why you walking ‘round like you ain’t done

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile


[Verse 2]

Locked bathroom door escapes
Real heroes die every day
No capes, just the wrong time
To the world they’re fine
Until they alter god's design

Volatile and elusive, let me stay reclusive
Foldback amongst the music

You're submerged while I’m partly toe deep in the party,
hardly immersed in armies of tongue locked strangers
largely ignoring features for convenience
in the sparkly lit sky too lit to ask why
or whom,

The room is the protagonist and I’m Moriarty.
Open in motion living owen’s poems leaning into omens
I marched asleep, Drunk with fatigue
To progress in the keep the fighting
So they can truthfully write to my mother
That I died Smiling

Doesn’t that sound less tiring

[Chorus]

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile
Talk about it, That ain’t my style

New Years Eve, New Years Eve

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile
Talk about it, That ain’t my style

New Years Eve, New Years Eve

The Night is young, the night is fun
Why you walking ‘round like you ain’t done
The night is young, the night is fun
Why you walking ‘round like you ain’t done

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile


[Verse 3]

Neverland but never showed up
Putting the time in to grow up
Dreaming of soap stars and unresolved issues
Repressed emotions never the tissues

It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s being alone not home and writing
About all untold and unspoken
Whimpering; cold and broken
“Hallejuah”

When the dam breaks and you're sunk in self-pity
But you don’t talk about it because it’s too gritty
So you just walk until the lights fade,

Sound dies,
walk on to the road, let time fly,
Step out of the throne of lies, ask why
To stand legless, a sock to be free
No building blocks, Lego less,
Click your heels and believe

[Chorus]

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile
Talk about it, That ain’t my style

New Years Eve, New Years Eve

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile
Talk about it, That ain’t my style

New Years Eve, New Years Eve

The Night is young, the night is fun
Why you walking ‘round like you ain’t done
The night is young, the night is fun
Why you walking ‘round like you ain’t done

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile

Happy to be here, I say with a smile
Happy to be here, I add to the pile
