[Verse 1]
Woke up to the cold again
Bare walls and thunder in my head
I try to tell myself it’s only weather
But silence never says a thing
[Verse 2]
Saw the headlines breaking down
Laughter’s thin as winter skin
Tell me who remembers how we started
Or if we ever tried to win
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a weight like iron on my chest
A minute breaks, then piles with the rest
If I could name the ache, I would confess
But nothing answers back
[Chorus]
In the end it ain’t newer matter
Everything’s rusted, battered
We chase the pieces, scatter
Try to build a brand new pattern
But the truth is torn and tattered
In the end it ain’t newer matter
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Cracks crawling through my windowpane
Every promise settling like dust
I shout into the dark – am I the stranger?
Or just a hand that learned to rust?
[Bridge]
If every dawn resets the wrong
Still we march where we don’t belong
Holding out for something strong
But the world plays the same old song
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a weight like iron on my chest
A minute breaks, then piles with the rest
If I could name the ache, I would confess
But nothing answers back
[Chorus]
In the end it ain’t newer matter
Everything’s rusted, battered
We chase the pieces, scatter
Try to build a brand new pattern
But the truth is torn and tattered
In the end it ain’t newer matter
[Outro]
Endings never seem to shatter
Still, in the end, it ain’t newer matter
