Benefit - Ever Since lyrics

[Verse] Ever since I felt my first pain I had the nerve to gain and swerve into the fast lane Every pint of my blood, stuffed into my last vein Leaking out from under my nails I'm a changed man, but still the same Crashing on the highway, control I cannot maintain Hack into my mainframe if you aim to see whats deranged They never say I'm insane But have you ever played with what's untamed These guts of cellophane keeping me fresh Much deeper than flesh, the reefer is meshed With fear of the deadly My spirit is heavy with burden aplenty It's curtains for many, I'm sure as pennies have cents I'm past tense The future is explosive molten Potent oceans of life, but broken and spliced Cloaked in dope, a token of blight Floating in flight, croaking tonight But I woke with hope despite There's no reason for a little bit Cause the days are dark, the nights are pitch My sight's been split with a knife, a switch I like this b**h, but life's simply that Please believe me I'm reason I'm breathing is to tell you that The Dark Matters These dark matters matter
