In and out of shadows

We're running around

Masks covering our faces

Screaming and yelling

About some boy who didn't know our age

Crashing in,

Don't touch me

Take me home

With the lights dimmed down

Take me out

With the lights shining bright

Don't take me there

But don't make me stay here

Streetlights mark our path

Of ice covered ground

Waiting for one to slip

So we can all stare and laugh

Voices rise

Don't make a sound

Take me home

To the sweet sound of silence

Take me out

To the booming voices of people around

Don't take me there

But don't make me stay here

A burning setting, crushed and flamed

The coldest place on planet earth

Warm me up, but cool me down

I can't stay here anymore
