You were more like the novel
Well after the movie ends
Just a wild-eyed dreamer
Who wished a single grain of sand
You were drawn to the darkness
It's just the way you've always been
Between the Nothing and Forever
We hoped The Nothing would never win
But I can see you
Standing in the front row, singing every song
Fists up to the sky your heart beat with the drums
You were Zero to 100, a stunning speed of light
You were pushing past the darkness just to feel alive
And you and me, we go way back
To another storyline
We were just a couple kids then
Going to the show each night
That you were drawn to the darkness
It's just the way you've always been
Between the Nothing and Forever
You knew The Nothing would someday win
But I can feel you
Bending like a Reed going wild in the wind
Cracking tons of jokes and messing with your friends
With the Auryn round your neck, playing hero again
You were bearing all the burden and you wouldn't let us in
Now we're calling out your name
But it won't do any good
And now we're sifting through the sorrow
Cause we all understood
That you were drawn to the darkness
It's just the way you've always been
Between the Nothing and Forever
You knew The Nothing would someday win
You were drawn to the darkness
It's just the way you've always been
Between the Nothing and Forever
We hoped the Nothing would never win
You were drawn to the darkness
It's just the way you've always been
Between the Nothing and Forever
We hoped the Nothing would never win
