Nothing at All/ This is Your New Year

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
As you say goodbye
To everything you trust
The well-worn path behind you
And the nightfall just ahead
The exit wounds have closed now
False friends have cut and fled
There is nothing left to run from
Nothing left to hold onto-
Your tattered ties are undone
The time-cracked seams are unglued-
How can you call this suffering?
When it is so clearly self-inflicted?
Yet it isn't what judge or jury decided
It's only you who have indicted
There's nothing left to hold onto
There's nothing here at all-
You're at the end of daybreak-
At the bottom of a painful fall
It's okay for you to get up now-
It's okay if you can only crawl
The past is past and done now
Trying again can't hurt AT ALL
So say goodbye, past
So sell yourself dear
So say hello
This is your new year
