(The kids in t

he dark x4)


[Verse 1:]
           
Here we are at

     
 the end of th

e road
             
A road that's 

       
quietly caving

 in (caving in

)
           
Come to far to

 
 pretend that 

we don't 
             
We don't miss 

         
where we start

ed (started)


[Pre chorus:]
           
Looking back I

 
 see a setting

 sun
             
Watch my shado

              
w fade into th

  
e floor (floor

)
        
I am left stan

ding on the ed

ge
             
Wondering how 

             
we got this fa

              
r (how we got 

       
this far)


[Chorus:]
             
They left us a

#
lone
              
The kids in th

  
e dark
             
To burn out fo

              
rever or light

         
 out the spark
           
We come togeth

              
er state of th

  
e art
            
We’ll never su

rrender 
              
The kids in th

  
e dark so let 

the world sing
          
What a shame w

hat a shame
             
Beautiful scar

veins
           
We come togeth

              
er state of th

[Verse 2:]
           
Here we are at

     
 the top of th

e hill
             
A hill that's 

        
quietly crumbl

ing 
           
Been a while s

         
ince you dress

ed for the kil

l
             
The kill that 

        
sent me tumbli

ng


[Pre chorus:]
          
Looking up I s

ee a falling s

tar
             
And watch its 

              
fire burn into

     
 the floor
           
And I am left 


standing on th

e edge
             
Wondering why 

             
we fall so har

              
d (why we fall

       
 so hard)
