Lyrics for Dark Matter

Inside the vehicle, the cold is extreme Smoke in my throat kicks me out of my dream I try to relax, but it's warmer outside I fail to connect, it's a tragic divide This has become a full-time career To die young, would take only 21 years Gun down a school or blow up a car The media circus will make you a star Crushed like a rose In the river flow I am, I know I am, I know Dark matter flowing out onto a tape Is only as loud as the silence it breaks Most things decay in a matter of days The product is sold, the memory fades Crushed like a rose In the river flow I am, I know I am, I know You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy And you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks All those childhood traumas magically wiped away Along with most of your personality
