It gets dark and the shiver moves across my skin There are stars but the cloudy skies won't let them in I'm gonna write a few words and hope they carry all the way Back to the start of this girl, when she still had something good to say
Seventeen - and you know exactly what you need Twenty-two - and they still see something great in you But no one tells you a word But the lonely echo in your heart When it's been filled up with hurt And your whole world starts to come apart
They rest in peace, won't ever come back All the stories I was told I had a dream - it's fading to black Just like me it's growing old So rest in peace - there is no come back I will never have a hold Now there is screaming from the pitch black That this world is not a home
Say goodbye, that's the only word you'll ever need When you try, it gets so much harder to succeed If I had nothing to lose, I would surely lose it in the end And you know if I could choose, I would never do it all again
They rest in peace, won't ever come back All the stories I was told I had a dream - it's fading to black Just like me it's growing old So rest in peace, there is no come back I will never have a hold Now there is screaming from the pitch black That this world is not a home
It's pumping through my system, get the poison out of me What good is a believer when there's nothing to believe? So put me in a shuttle, let me spin around the world, show me the star--
They rest in peace won't ever come back All the stories I was told I had a dream - it's fading to black Just like me it's growing old So rest in peace - there is no come back (It's pumping through my system, get the poison out of me) I will never have a hold (what good is a believer if there's nothing to believe?) Now there is screaming from the pitch black (so put me in a shuttle, let me spin around the world - show me the stars) That this world is not a-- that this world is not a home
