We laid our names to rest
Along the dotted line
We left our date of birth
And our history behind

Cause if nothing else, we're given a little time
To change the game, a chance to redefine
Everything we are
In our january white

You spend your whole life just to remember the sound
When the world was brighter, before we learned to dim it down
Call it survival, call it the freedom of will
Where breath is our own, our compass needle standing still

Why do you make a start
With no means to go on
It's on the tip of your
Ruby, we used to love you truly
You used to make us laugh
It really was a gas
But now you're a bore

Can you hear the silence?
Can you see the dark?
Can you fix the broken?
Can you feel, can you feel my heart

Cut me open and tell me what's inside
Diagnose me cause I can’t keep wondering why
And no it's not a phase cause it happens all the time
Start over, check again, now tell me what you find

Dear mother, can you hear me whining?
It's been 3 whole weeks
Since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

They left us alone
The kids in the dark
To burn out forever
Or light up a spark
We come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark
So let the world sing
"What a shame
What a shame
Beautiful scars
On critical veins"
Come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

I've heard that you've been having some trouble
Finding your place in the world
I know how much that hurts
But if you need a friend
Then please, just say the word
