[Verse 1]
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 to come apart

[Chorus]
The 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 or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a home

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
The 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 or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a home

[Bridge]
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
Ooooooh

[Chorus]
The 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 or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a home
[Outro]
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
