Dark Matter
Andrew Belle Lyrics

Just 'cause your heart's afraid
The fact that your heart is fearful does not give you the right to blame it on something else.

Doesn't give the right to say
You cannot use your fear as an excuse.

I was born this way
You cannot blame something on your own nature.

You see the part you played
You are responsible for the role you played in this situation.

All the silhouettes you've made
Your actions and choices have created shadows and hidden truths.

Fleet the light of day
The truth is concealed and difficult to uncover.

I wish I was innocent in a bad way
I desire to be free from blame or guilt, but the circumstances prevent it.

But I've found
However, my experiences contradict this desire.

You don't come after soldiers
One does not seek to harm those who are their own or who were under their command.

Unless they were yours in the first place
Unless they originally belong to you or were once your responsibility.

Why do I push away
Why do I reject the kindness and help given to me?

When your welcome is overstayed
When it is time for you to leave, but you stay anyway.

All I breathe is gray
Everything feels bleak and lifeless to me.

But through the disarray
Despite the chaos and confusion.

You're the emissary vein
You are the channel that connects me to my emotions and my thoughts.

To my left right brain
To both my analytical and creative tendencies.

I wish I was reticent in my own strength
I desire to be quiet and humble despite having confidence in myself.

You don't hold your composure
You lose control of your emotions and demeanor.

When I say that with a straight face
Even when I am being sincere and honest.

See you brought your wits about you
You are alert and attentive.

The black bear that'll haunt you
The fear that will consume and torment you.

If I can feel it, why do I need to see it, do I?
If I am already aware of the fear, why do I need proof of its existence?

I don't see it, oh did I ever feel it, did I?
I do not have visual evidence of the fear, but it is possible that I have felt it before.

Oh I swim in a violet sea
I am lost and caught up in my own emotions.

But I'm bending the light connecting you to me
However, I am still trying to connect with those around me despite my struggles.

So write a "lettre de marque" and see
Give me a chance to prove myself and show my worth.

Oh if this dark matter heart can bleed out right
If I can be vulnerable and open up emotionally, despite my reservations.
