R.I.P.

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 comeback
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 comeback
I will never have or hold
Now hear me screaming from the pitch-black
That this world is not a home.

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]

* 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.

[Chorus]
