lyrics

Somewhere in a darkened room
Only sound was the clock on the wall
Ticking, always ticking

A girl walked in on a laser beam
She said, “I am only part of your dream
Do you want to wake up?
Do you want to take that chance?”

I told her
“Every day, I think I’m being followed
And there are many things not understood
My intentions are all good”

And she said
“Run from the violent killing
Fight back if you’re willing
Escape from the thought police
Shun false fame and glory
Be true, spread the story
You are the cure for this disease”

I’ve seen it all
There are two thousand people looking at you
Watching, looking at you, watching

And the assassin waits outside my door
Waiting, what’s he waiting for?
Hello?
Is there anybody out there?

You know
Every day, I think I’m being followed
And there are many things not understood
My intentions are all good

Run from the violent killing
Fight back if you’re willing
Escape from the thought police
And I’ll shun false fame and glory
There’s no need to worry
They won’t steal it from me
Can’t you see?

I can feel them watching me
Spying on me in the night
I may pretend to be happy
But I’m fearful on the inside

Maybe I’m just paranoid
Insanity dripping through
But I really don’t know
I really don’t know what else there is to do

Run from the violent killing
Fight back if you’re willing (Whoa)
Escape from the thought police (Yeah, oh-whoa-whoa)
And I’ll shun false fame and glory
There’s no need to worry
They won’t steal it from me
Can’t you see?
Oh, can’t you see?

Whoa
Oh yeah

And I’ll shun false fame and glory
There is no need to worry

about

Dark Matter Charlottesville, Virginia

DAЯK MATTEЯ is the musical brainchild of lead vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Hunter Bruton. Originally with a comedy-piano rock sound, DAЯK MATTEЯ has moved to a blend of progressive rock, glam metal, and new wave, toned by Bruton's quirky lyricism. ... more
