It gets dark and a 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 I hope the carry all this 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 about the lonely echo in your heart
When it's been filled up with hurt
And your whole world starts [bad word] apart

The rest in peace, won't [bad word] 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 [bad word] I will never have or hold
Now hear me 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

The rest in peace, won't [bad word] 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 [bad word] I will never have or hold
Now hear me 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 stars

The rest in peace, won't [bad word] 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 [bad word] I will never have or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a home
