[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Inside the vehicle, the cold is extreme
Smoke in my throat kicks me out of my dream
I try to relax but it's 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 twenty-one 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
I am, I know

[Verse 3]
Dark matter flowing out onto 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
I am, I know

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
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
