Dark Matters

Come walk with me Stumble into the unknown This world has both A fork and a knife And we're all fighting for rice As steel pays the price For a place to call home Come see the trauma Reborn before me As old battles cling onto The newly baptised names Ancient shadows pander To flickering candles Smashing each infant corner Under the rapture of flame Come sip from the cup Of these useless ideas These jobless doctrines Just flogging a career If you don't sanctify life In all of its torturous beauty The peace that you proclaim Will never be found here Now come take a look In the mirror And see eye-to-eye On what we truly are I'm all that you've got And It might not seem a lot As we bulldoze the block To enlist future scars You can't fight wars Without becoming a warrior It's never too late So don't give up Nobody knows who Wraps up the red carpet Nobody knows why The endgame is corrupt Nobody sees The bloodstains in my writing Nobody hears My ancestors scream Nobody knows Why we're always fighting And nobody can bring Your love back to me If you live long enough You learn to regret Once upon a time Is yesterday and some change If they blaze the village of a child Then what do you expect He'll replace the confusion with chaos And the chaos with rage So come walk with me Let's hold this space And try to unpack time Before we were born The universe made poetry Before I was born This world destroyed mine Nobody sees The bloodstains in my writing Nobody hears My ancestors scream Nobody knows Why we're always fighting And nobody can bring Your love back to me Nobody sees The bloodstains in my writing Nobody hears My ancestors scream Nobody knows Why we're always fighting And nobody can bring Your love back to me Nobody sees The bloodstains in my writing Nobody hears My ancestors scream So come walk with me Let's hold this space And try to unpack time Before we were born The universe made poetry Before I was born This world destroyed mine
