[Intro] Blue ribbons in the ash, falling down like snow. One last vintage record on the radio. Do you remember the sky? 'Cause I don’t [Verse 1] Sunset turned into a permanent gray, I watched the neon signs just flicker away. I was hiding in the cellar with my lace dress on, Waking up to find the whole neighborhood gone. Quiet streets, empty swings, The end of all my favorite things. But I’m still standing, look at me go, A diamond shining in the afterglow. [Chorus] It’s a new end, it’s an old start Broken world, but a gold heart Keep on walking through the dark, dark, dark Light a fire from a spark, spark, spark It’s a new end, it’s an old start Keep on walking through the dark, dark, dark Light a fire from a spark, spark, spark Yeah, we’re dancing in the park of the broken hearts [Refrain] Everything is gone, but I’m still here Everything is gone, but I’m still here (I’m still here, baby) Everything is gone, but I’m still here Everything is gone, but I’m still here (I’m still here, baby) [Verse 2] Found a Polaroid of us by the Ferris wheel, It’s funny how the plastic is the only thing real. I use a cracked mirror just to do my wings, Even in the ruins, the siren sings. They said the world was ending, it was "The Big One," But I’m just getting tanned under a dying sun. [Post-chorus] La-la-la-vender, ashes in my hair Dancing on the edge like I just don't care Old start, new heart, rip it all apart, I’m the only masterpiece in this gallery of dark. Click, flash, pose—standing in the dust, Turn the silver linings into golden rust (One, two, three—Go) [Refrain] Everything is gone, but I’m still here Everything is gone, but I’m still here Everything is gone, but I’m still here Everything is gone, but I’m still here [Bridge] Will you meet me where the skyscrapers fell? Heaven’s a place on earth, or maybe it’s hell But I like the view since the lights went out No more static, no more doubt The end was just the beginning [Chorus] It’s a new end, it’s an old start Broken world, but a gold heart Keep on walking through the dark, dark, dark Light a fire from a spark, spark, spark It’s a new end, it’s an old start Keep on walking through the dark, dark, dark Light a fire from a spark, spark, spark Yeah, we’re dancing in the park of the broken hearts [Post-chorus] La-la-la-vender, ashes in my hair Dancing on the edge like I just don't care Old start, new heart, rip it all apart, I’m the only masterpiece in this gallery of dark. Click, flash, pose—standing in the dust, Turn the silver linings into golden rust (One, two, three—Go) [Outro] Blue ribbons in the ash It’s so pretty now Old start
