Dark Energy

Feeling close to breaking down
Lift a glass
To toast the crowd
You took me into the light
Then I check myself
And I'm freaking out
When I met myself
Creature of the night
When I left myself
And my soul took flight
There was nothing else
Pure absence of mind

Just another natural
Suburban disaster
With unrelated variation
Out to maximise a fraction
Of a so called life
Yeah, I'm aware of all my actions
So I do whatever I can
To stay away from altercation
Mental vegetation
What exactly am I chasing?
Help me to evade the frame of mind
That had me wasting away
Help me calm down
Help me come round again

Being chosen to ignite
The ultimate self sacrifice

Just another natural
Suburban disaster
With unrelated variation
Out to maximise a fraction
Of a so called life
Yeah, I'm aware of all my actions
So I do whatever I can
To stay away from altercation
Mental vegetation
What exactly am I chasing?
Help me to evade the frame of mind
That had me wasting away
Help me calm down
Help me come round again

You didn't ask me to conform
To an idol prototype
I say what I mean
Not just what you like
I am the epitome of extremity and subtlety
Neatly combined
What do you see when you look in my eyes?

I want you to rise
