Fighting Spirit 04:33
lyrics
Time has come and went so fast Like a thunder in a rainy sky I became much wiser now And I learned my lesson well I have won and I have lost Friends and lovers and my mom and dad Just another trip in life and another walk alone We feel proud and full of bliss for a lifetime full of dreams What it takes is just a second and our life turns upside down In my darkest hour I only had to break down and cry Help me please! Heaven holds a place for those who never give up the fight Miracles may happen now they never come for free Fighting spirit is all that's left for me Saw my father pass away with his loved ones all around Mother died alone in bed took her pride to her grave I had valued many things that I used to ignore (You can say you learned) If there's justice up above the righteous surely know The only miracle the righteous know is life will find a way somehow Fighting spirit is all we have right now

Implode 04:54
lyrics
Hazy morning Every morning Tis not the way you're supposed to be feeling I know You're very sick Inside Touch the sunlight By permission of your fears Kiss the twilight, kill the sunshine just because your life is void Complicate it, break it, fake it till perversion takes it toll You're on your own. How f*cked up your life is Screaming in agony You left it fade away You made it a supermassive black hole And you'll implode I remember the times when I was open Like the sun, like a good omen I remember I sought to have it my way My way, but it all fades away now And I'm not an easy person to deal with As my demons share the same room with my angels in a battle for more, in a struggle to lure my instincts out of the hole. A ghost. That's what my inner animal has become A door to the unknown secrets of this castle. Hustle. There's nothing more than the fight to stay alive And head for more To become what I have know to be me In a newer version A true conversion And live for more. How f*cked up your life is Screaming in agony You left it fade away You made it a supermassive black hole And you'll implode

Name of the Game 03:40
lyrics
A strange day What to expect? You lay your body next to mine You squeeze my heart, you steal my blood You're the mother to our kids And I am just the owner of this wretched heart How is that you have come to love me? How come you got into my life? I'm speaking words but you don't care if they have meaning As long as I am the father to your kids. Possession is the name of the game Predominance is real Existence is the excuse that we need to amplify our vanity I remember love was pure I remember we made dreams Till one day they fell apart, vanished in a purple breeze Now it's only just a game Exchange of power to conceal All those wicked inner fears All those feelings from within Possession is the name of the game Predominance is real Existence is the excuse that we need to amplify our vanity

Rainy May 05:48
lyrics
Rain in May Raining in the springtime Thunderbolts light the sky As the wind blows hard enough to scare my heart yes, I'm lonely, lonely, lonely now. No alarms can make me wanna run away No other sweetness than your kiss Oh, how I long to have you here by my side But instead I only hear the rain pouring down. Oh, rainy May Raining in my soul Oh, my love How did we come to this? Darkness falls so hard upon a wretched heart There's only one flower in my room Ten roses bleed They bleed a red, red sky hidden by the clouds behind a grey wasted sun Oh, rainy May Raining in my soul Oh, my love How did we come to this? It was a rainy night during May the sky was torn.

Stay Alive 06:54
lyrics
Time Always a ruler to our lives Sometimes an angel, sometimes a tyrant Controlling all things that came and things to be Love Is like a river in our hearts Always flowing, sometimes running much deeper than we can perceive We We never chose to live this life Despite the odds we will survive No one was spared from facing facts And we Must not regret a single thing Must fight our way until the end No matter how hard it is to Stay Alive Hate Is born through ignorance and fear Sometimes driving, always devouring every single ray of hope War Is just a wound in a pure flesh Always rotting, always infecting all peaceful deeds of love And we We never chose to live this life Despite the odds we will survive No one was spared from facing facts And we Must not regret a single thing Must fight our way until the end No matter how hard it is to Stay Alive Stay Alive

about

The dark matter is a component of the universe, whose presence is discerned from its gravitational attraction rather than its luminosity. Dark matter makes up 30.1 percent of the matter-energy composition of the universe; the rest is dark energy (69.4 percent) and “ordinary” visible matter (0.5 percent). Scientists only speculate dark matter could be composed of baryons, but it could also be non-baryonic, that means consisting of different types of particles. Most scientists think that dark matter is composed of non-baryonic matter. So far, the only way we know dark matter exists is through gravity. It doesn't emit, absorb, reflect or refract electromagnetic radiation. Which means we can't see it. Which makes it dark. (via wikipedia.com and space.com)

"Dark Matter" EP is just that: a compilation of dark particles of sentiments, that wont emit, reflect or absorb the Light. It's a state of mind and of the soul. "Dark Matter" came to my mind, as I wanted to draw all negative feelings out into the light; feelings I kept and were created during my darkest of times. I also took the part of the sick-minded, for it is very easy to point the finger to them, but it's harder to comprehend their situation. And as all of these dark moments tend to neutralise our lives, thus the title "Dark Matter".
