Lyrics

(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
Here we are at the end of the road
A road that's quietly caving in (Caving in)
Come too far to pretend that we don't
We don't miss where we started (Started)
Looking back, I see a setting sun
And watch my shadow fade into the floor
I am left standing on the edge
Wonderin' how we got this far
How we got this far
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 (Hey)
What a shame (Hey)
Beautiful scars on critical veins
We come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark
(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
Here we are at the top of the hill
A hill that's quietly crumbling (Crumbling)
Been a while since you dressed for the kill
The kill that sent me tumbling
Looking up, I see a falling star
And watch its fire burn into the floor
And I am left, standing on the edge
Wondering why we fall so hard
Why we fall so hard
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 (Hey)
What a shame (Hey)
Beautiful scars on critical veins
We come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark
(Whoa)
(Whoa, the kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
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 (Hey)
What a shame (Hey)
Beautiful scars on (Whoa) Critical veins (Whoa)
We come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark
The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark
