Dark Matter
Mark Diamond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I speak to the devil at night
He tells me I've gotta leave
Leave it all behind

The devil don't speak to me when you're here
The devil don't speak to me when you're here

Oh fight the darkness, be the starlight

I sleep with a head full and find
My heart in a cosmic war
Fleeding towards a hole in the sky
Oh be the light

The devil don't speak to me when you're here
The devil don't speal to me when you're here
Oh fight the darkness, be the starlight

Dark matter waves pull me out Ito the current
The glow of your heart keeps me warm
Above the surface
My shadow looms
Am I my own devil





Fight the darkness, be the starlight
Fight the darkness, be the starlight
