"Dark Matter" lyrics - PORCUPINE TREE

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 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 have been in weeks.
All those childhood traumas magically wiped away along with most of your personality.
