[Verse 1]
Inside the vehicle the cold is extreme
Smoke in my throat kicks me out of my dream
I try to relax but its warmer outside
I fail to connect, it's a tragic divide
[Verse 2]
This has become a full time career
To die young would take only 21 years
Gun down a school or blow up a car
The media circus will make you a star
[Chorus]
Crushed like a rose
In the river flow
I am I know
[Verse 3]
Dark matter flowing out on to a tape
Is only as loud as the silence it breaks
Most things decay in a matter of days
The product is sold the memory fades
[Chorus]
Crushed like a rose
In the river flow
I am I know
[Spoken word sample]
You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks
All those childhood traumas magically wiped away, along with most of your personality
