Shabby books sold me the law Other kids cover the bases How do I prop up a foe Make it clear Paint me a picture Some worlds are bigger than earth Some wishes carry more worth Some death is settled through birth Tell me there's no shame in fear Tell me things aren't moving backward Tell me I don't have to know Tell me there's no need to stay here The sky will still be here in the morning But if it disappears, could you warn me Friend of mine, hold out with me Pendulum, turn back and stay still Shabby book, grant me resolve Poster child, stop my complaining
