  • In the valley of the dolls we sleep, we sleep
    Got a hole inside of me, of me

    Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
    Built with a heart, broken from the start and now
    I die slow

    In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
    Got a hole inside of me
    Living with identities
    That do not belong to me
    In my life, I got this far
    Now I'm ready for the last hoorah
    Dying like a shooting star
    In the valley
    In the valley
    In the valley

    Pick a personality for free
    When you feel like nobody, body

    Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
    Built with a heart, broken from the start and now
    I die slow

    In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
    Got a hole inside of me
    Living with identities
    That do not belong to me
    In my life, I got this far
    Now I'm ready for the last hoorah
    Dying like a shooting star
    In the valley
    In the valley
    In the valley

    Back to zero, here we go again, again
    Racing down into oblivion
    Back to zero, here we go
    I can feel it coming to the end
    The end

    In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
    Got a hole inside of me
    Living with identities
    That do not belong to me
    In my life, I got this far
    Now I'm ready for the last hoorah
    Dying like a shooting star
    In the valley
    In the valley
    In the valley
    In the valley
