New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count is incremented. In many cultures, the event is celebrated in some manner. The New Year of the Gregorian calendar, today in worldwide use, falls on 1 January, as was the case with the Roman calendar. There are numerous calendars that remain in regional use that calculate the New Year differently.
The order of months in the Roman calendar was January to December since King Numa Pompilius in about 700 BC, according to Plutarch and Macrobius. According to Catholic tradition, 1 January is the day of the circumcision of Jesus (on the eighth day from his birth), when the name of Jesus was given to him (Luke 2:21).
It was only relatively recently that 1 January again became the first day of the year in Western culture. Until 1751 in England and Wales (and all British dominions) the new year started on 25 March – Lady Day, one of the four quarter days (the change to 1 January took place in 1600 in Scotland). Since then, 1 January has been the first day of the year. During the Middle Ages several other days were variously taken as the beginning of the calendar year (1 March, 25 March, Easter, 1 September, 25 December).[citation needed][where?] In many countries, such as the Czech Republic, Italy and the UK, 1 January is a national holiday.

I'm running 'round in circles
Trying to find some peace of mind
Cause it's a lonely place when
All the we need we cannot find
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
And I don't wanna be the one to drag you down
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers
It's such a sweet solution
To close our eyes and walk in line
And all our contributions
Just seem to fade away with time
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
And I don't wanna be the one to drag you down
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers
I cant stand here, waiting
With my hands out, for the ceiling
But I won't lie, I won't try
I can't walk such a straight line
And these bright lights, surround me
People are so friendly
But I won't lie, I won't try
I can't pretend that it's alright, no
Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers
Write down your name
C'mon baby, write down your name
C'mon baby, write down your name
Sitting here stressing at 2:30am
About how fast the year can go
I wonder where it went
If we start all over again, would it really work
I know that you could be, could be, coming back to me
Mesmorised, but of thoughts of fear
Traumatised, I'm so scared to feel
Wanna stop thinking gotta get to sleep
Gotta wake up fresh, get on my feet
Push the thought of you away
Do it today
I'm older than my years
Drowing in my tears
Surrounded by the fear
Since you went away, a year ago
At Christmas
You locked away your secrets
Kept them away from me
I only came to say goodbye, now you finally see
You wanna start all over again, make it work this time
But I don't wanna end up feeling far away from fine
I memorised, what you said to me
So surprised, it was hell to be
So frustrated with the way we were
Not a single word could make it work
Now look at us today
We blew it away
I'm older than my years
Drowing in my tears
Surrounded by the fear
Since you went away, a year ago
Last week I would have said there's no way
Today I'm giving in
I don't believe in what I now have to believe in
But no one sees and end to the end
I have a recurrent memory
The world has its legs spread in front of me
Now they mark off the limits of the possible
They went on forever now they come together
But legs can't stay uncrossed for long
The pleasure can't escape the perverse
We have to stay together
The men have taken over
The vainglorious masters of fact
Give me back my childhood
But let me keep my beard
I'll be the freakish little man
Do you feel inspired
I'm not fired up (all I feel is tired)
There's no motive in misery
You're smiling through your teeth
It's shaken your belief
There's no hiding in self loathing
Your friends are digging in
And squirting out their kin
And giving up on self-definition
Even when you're looking
Out of a body that's one day away
From being a corpse
You still feel eighteen on the inside
This is something you should know
There's no escaping getting old
But did I hear that when I was told so
When I was eighteen on the outside
Even when you're smiling
From the side of your mouth
I can hear you say that you want out
You still feel carefree on the inside
Somebody come through that window
And get me out of here
I thought we'd go through together
The end's not near
It's here
Alleluia
Spread the cheer
And watch the millenarians
Throw a party for a thousand years
You won't see the pious praying
They'll be too busy flaying
All the martyrs with better ways
To stop the world decaying
If you call me I won't be home
I'm hiding from the kingdom come
They can't see everything on earth
With the satellites and the roving drones
This is why hell is underground
Like a reclaimed bad part of town
We don't want to lose our souls
We're the saints who don't want to be found
There are things some people classify as pleasures
That, just before I die, I’ll have no regrets having missed:
Camping, and orgies, and places on the body I’ve never kissed.
But however you define,
whatever you have in mind
We both have a need for things we don’t need
Like belief, and relief, and pleasure, and grief
Now I’m sitting here waiting to leave, New Year’s Eve
Nothing good came from MMV
But death and destruction, and my new resolution:
To drink more, and laugh more, and sleep more, and dream more
I'm hoping that this new year,
Is better than the last one... ,
'Cause me and my loneliness,
Could sure use a divorce
Not that it's any fault of my own,
Not that I've ever stood fast and hard,
Check in, now start,
You hurry up and wait,
I've read every magazine,
La la la la la
I'm hoping that this new year,
Is better than the last one... ,
'Cause me and my loneliness,
Could sure use a divorce
There are people determined to ruin my life,
This year I'll anticipate their modus operandi,
They laugh, they smile,
They say it's guaranteed,
Tell me that it's good as done,
La la la la la
I'm hoping that this new year,
Is better than the last one... ,
'Cause me and my loneliness,
We have come for light
Wholly, we have come for light
It's true
I am the sun
I am the new year
I am the rain
I am the sun
I am the new year
I'm the way home
I'm the way home
I am the rain
I am the new year
I am the sun
I am the rain
I am the new year
It felt so fitting
As I crossed the state line
As the last chord rang out
And the tape started to unwind
As my knuckles on the wheel
Made a perfect gun-sight
And each car that fell there
I could vanish from the light
But God knows I wouldn't
I need all the company I can get
Even that redneck
In the red corvette
The highway takes
A toll on your soul
The odometer reads miles
Like time calling roll
In the broken road kill
It's there in their eyes
Was I put here
To be food for the flies
God knows if I wasn't
It's for the company I can get
Even that redneck
I can't remember why it felt so good
When you and I made our plans to get away
It's not like it's some kind of great escape
When you only manage not to suffocate
But the accidents that brought us here
The excuses for another year
Give us minimal air
Enough to make us forget why we care
It's not that easy to overcome this hyper-caution
When your moral life is this fragile
And this town is always watching
So we x off days on the calendar
The girls in the back of the room
Having the time of their lives
As they sing out of tune
You know I'll be going soon
To the back of the room
Because I can't keep
Calling my mother
I need another kind of other
And even though I love my brother
He won't do
Like you up against the back wall
I know you've heard it all
But you should know I want nothing more
Than the idea of you
It's not that I'm dying
To be young again
But the last few years
Have turned me into an alien
And you should know
That you're just filling in
The end's not near
It's here
Alleluia
Spread the cheer
And watch the millenarians
Throw a party for a thousand years
You won't see the pious praying
They'll be too busy flaying
All the martyrs with better ways
To stop the world decaying
If you call me I won't be home
I'm hiding from the kingdom come
They can't see everything on earth
With the satellites and the roving drones
This is why hell is underground
Like a reclaimed bad part of town
We don't want to lose our souls
I have a feeling
And feelings can sometimes tow the line
That everything will always work out next time
Better than it has the other days
Eight hours of sleep can make anything go away
Until it comes back into my mind
If I had reason to think things would be different this time
Now I see
I've planted all of the evidence that I find
That my habits will get me somewhere
I have a feeling
That this will work out halfway alright
The wages of sleeping are compromise
And feelings that tell a lot of lies
Ten hours of sleep can make anything go away
And never come back into my mind
I'd have reason to think things will be different this time
If I'd never
Planted all of the evidence that I find
Celebrate, celebrate, emancipate
'Cause now it's a new year
Watch the saints come, marching saints
Watch the saints go marching
Away from you, from you, from you
And I don't think they notice
That we're immune to it and we don't care
I said, deny education, fornication
'Cause they don't care, no, they don't care
Revelate, imitate, market hate
And we'll sell them new rules
I said, hey, I can't wait, I faint
'Cause I caught a snake in my room
And I don't think they notice
That we're immune to it and we don't care
I said, deny our addictions, rig elections
'Cause they don't care, no, they don't care
Celebrate, celebrate, it's a new year
Celebrate print fear
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
And I don't think they notice
That we're immune to it and we don't care
I said, deny education, fornication
'Cause they don't care, no, they don't care
No, they don't care, no, they don't care
There's no design
Just try to see yourself
Without looking through a fairy tale
The door opens and all hell blows in
All this torn skin, bones, blood, and snot
Reminds us of what we wish we were not
The door opens and all hell blows in
All the dust blown into a cloud
It's unsettled and can't find its way around
It keeps lifting and then it flies right out
It keeps lifting and then it flies right
Out to the sun
As far as it can ride the gust
Into the grass
To move with whatever comes
Into the water
To sink to the bottom mud
Into the water
To the mud
The door's open
And it's never going to close
The door's open
It's jammed with everything you know
The door's open
My heart beats like a drum, flying up with the sun
I grab Your hand again
Renovated with life, my eyes again bright
And You are radiant
Where hope can hold my hand of sorrow
And we can walk into tomorrow
Where peace is found in troubled days
And the joy of Jesus carries pain
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, lift up your eyes
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine and point the way to God's great life
I'm held in a place, a beautiful space
Where heaven meets the earth
My heart opens wide and the Father pours life
Deep inside my soul
Where hope can hold my hand of sorrow
And we can walk into tomorrow
Where peace is found in troubled days
And the joy of Jesus carries pain
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, lift up your eyes
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine and point the way to God's great life
Where hope can hold my hand of sorrow
We can walk into tomorrow
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, lift up your eyes
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine and point the way to God's great life
This a new year, this is a new day
Rise, rise, rise and shine
It's a new year
In an old house
With more technology you'll never understand
Break out your typewriter
With your thees and thous
Smearing old words
With your old hands
You'll call me Cassandra
I'll call you King James
And all we write is true
And all of it insane
But the changing of the seasons
Will forever stay the same
You say
The infantry's retreating
Like they knew how this would end
Did you hear the Germans lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper's getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside of this house
Or so I'm told
It's a real fear
For you and me
Burning clothing just to keep the winter warm
My fingers trace the gumline
Of a skeleton key
Not caring whether it could open up the door
The faces at the window
Are children in the womb
Black-eyed and still
But growing every day
You'll die on the outside
Or die in this room
Either way
Our infancy's receding
We're a heartbeat from the end
Did you hear the madmen lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper's getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside this house
Or so I'm told
We're stockpiling warheads
We're stuck in the past
Death is art
Truth is beauty
And the first shall be last
You'll call me Athena, I'll call you Monet
When the world is falling down
Crumbling like clay
We're hiding in caverns
Forgetting our names
We dissolve in our mythology
Like blood in the rain
You'll call me the lion
I'll call you the lamb
I am lost in all you are
Can you smell the salt air
Close but never quite there
Birds are flying off course
There's no one here at the fair
I sense that I'm being led
Into the hammerhead
Its jaws are dripping with rust
That beast needs to be fed
There's no need to give me that look
I'm the one on tenterhooks
I hold onto the rail
The metal starts to fail
As soon as we reach the top
I feel the hammer drop
Can you hear the steel groan
I'm heading straight where I never go
There's no more hiding in these folios
Each page has known what the first one showed
There're still three more hours of sunlight
And in this dream of a cottage on a hill
There was no view of the life that makes it real
Here in May and only the trees
Want to leave like I do
I don't think the good years I've got can wait
It's true, true, true...
I know what I want [2x]
I am the sun
I am the new year
I'm the way home [2x]
I know what I want [2x]
I am the sun
I am the new year
I'm the way home [2x]
We have come for light
Wholly, we have come for light
It's true, true, true...
I know what I want [2x]
I am the sun
I am the new year
Your teeth are grinding down into sand
Your fingers are coming through your hands
Your hair is graying
Your eyes are shaking
You can't expect the kindness of strangers
From those strangers to kindness
But don't acquiesce
Control your anger
You're in danger in this part of the world
Are we cowards
Are they jackals
Are we bitter
Or better off than they are
They jump into bed like it's the end of the world
Have those girls never seen boys
And have those boys ever loved men
Out in the driveway this house doesn't have
I wash the car that I don't own
I keep myself busy
You talk on the phone
And lose track of time
I get lost in the foam
I watch the water run through the cracks
Down to the curb
Past the painted address that's fading undisturbed
Down to the end of the street
Where neighbors I don't have and I meet
Into the sewer beneath the block that doesn't exist
Now I'm in the cat box panning for gold
At least in cat years I'm four years old
The dream I had last night I'll have again
Not knowing what it means to dream of a life
between the nameless and the icons
the manholes and the pylons
this is where I belong
under the sidewalk and the power lines
behind the window and the window blinds
there's no room for right or wrong
now I'm standing on the third floor
I can't make decisions anymore
I can't remember how I used to function
they're filling in the trench in the street
the tar smells bittersweet
which is the nature of reconstruction
they're smoothing over twenty years of cracks
as they build more right into their backs
I used to know if this was right or wrong
I'm looking out from the inside
all I want is a place to hide
There are certain times I wish for release
At least just some sleep
It just shouldn't take so long
I wish I could turn off and on
It's so dark I can't even see
How all the colors turn to greys
It's so dark I don't know if I believe
I'm here anyway
If there's nothing to be
But as distracted as you can be
Then I can't lose myself
In so much empty space
I know more than I want to
And I don't need any more
What can I give in exchange
For a simple life
Never know a time beyond today
I don't mean it like it sounds
If it sounds like I want it easy
I mean simple in my head
Not simple for my hands
But there's nothing to be
But as distracted as you can be
I never thought I would say what I'm saying now
There are things some people classify as pleasures
That, just before I die, I’ll have no regrets having missed:
Camping, and orgies, and places on the body I’ve never kissed.
But however you define,
whatever you have in mind
We both have a need for things we don’t need
Like belief, and relief, and pleasure, and grief
Now I’m sitting here waiting to leave, New Year’s Eve
Nothing good came from MMV
But death and destruction, and my new resolution:
I don't need these things if I'll lose them again
This house looks like a bankrupt museum
But I'm not like you
I don't want to go zen
This is what happens when the newness ends
And in my defense you were the one
But there's no difference because I'm not done
I'm gonna clean my room and get me a friend
This is what happens when the newness ends
And you can't see that I won't be that way for you
again
We watched the rust get covered in frost
When you lose your lust you're never so lost
When the day's as long as this is wrong
There are things still here but everything's gone
Is this what happens when you have a friend
This is what happens when the newness ends
And you can't see that you won't be that way for me
The pattern on this rug tells a story
It's gory chaos but ordered and hoary
And I hate it but strangely respect it like Gasoline
Now I'm lying in the fetal position
I know I never should have been a musician
When I knew my ears would lose their audition
Gasoline
I like the way you smell
Gasoline
I never knew I knew you so well
We always know just what to do
Until the future comes
Now look what we've been through
Only cowards seek refuge in a second language
I should have learned how to speak my native one
I was afraid I wouldn't know how to use my tongue
Gasoline
You're more than a finished product
Running down the aqueduct
What I should do and what I do are like brothers
They're driven by so much more than they're needed
That they're blinded they can't see they're both
driven by
Gasoline leaking through an empty tank
Gasoline
The future's never what I think
I thought we knew what we were doing
caring and forgiving aren't the same
I can see the causes and assign the blame
as soon as I stop worrying I'm okay
and all this happens in half a day
but as soon as I start shaking I'm a mess
I can't control these things under this stress
seeing and believing aren't the same
when I see you I don't believe you were to blame
not this time anyway
for how long do you tell yourself that you're moral
for as long as you can stay out of real trouble
that's why I don't think you should be condemned
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
For a new year
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?
Visions of a feeling
The footsteps at bay
You were getting stronger
Memories again
Now you're open wider
It's better this way
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
Won't you write a letter
On the page in your own way
Write it in a letter
On the page, it's your own way
You were getting wiser
It's better this way
Faces in the mirror
Memories again
Now look to a feeling
It's lighter than breath
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
For the ending of an era
Can you call it? See it coming?
Just enough to tell a story 'bout a
Portrait of a young girl waiting
Love, should it be so tragic?
Should it be dramatic?
Should it take such a toll on you?
Trust, why is our trust faded?
Jesus says to trade them
Trade our scars for His promises
So give Him all your love this time
And give Him everything you are this time
You've never been so lucky
To have a friend like Jesus
Wait, how long will you wait here?
Your life longs for a new year
Your healing must begin somewhere
Everything you could ever want
Is right before you
He is close to your broken heart
The new year has finally arrived
Innocent with silken unmarked skin
Only for a moment then it flies
And the sound of the tattoo begins
Breathing softly
It will get to the core
Breathing softly
It will get to the core
It's indelible
All you need to know
Indelible on the body of your soul
Everything is relative in time
The scars will heal and then what will remain]
We're left with a mysterious design
A beautiful reminder of the pain
Breathing softly
It will get to the core
Breathing softly
It will get to the core
It's indelible
All you need to know
