about
It is said the "Dark Matter" makes up 85% of the matter in the universe... and yet we cannot see it. PK uses this analogy to speak to the many unseen gifts of those who are marginalized. As a young man with autism, PK calls on us to see the "grace and power, beauty pristine" of that which is unseen.
lyrics
Chorus:
Dark matter//dark matter, Dark matter//dark matter
Free the tiger inside of me, dark matter fills the void unseen
Verse 1:
The dark approaches, suspense it builds. Twilight falls, and the moment is still
In my heart, a cage opens wide, releasing the tiger that stalks inside
Hidden from sight, my power it grows, day by day, still nobody knows
I pace this cage, I race backstage, I face the rage ‘til I’m about to blow
Was it them or was it me, who locked my cell and hid the key?
Now it’s time to stop this crime, to drop a dime, and bid me free
Grace and power, beauty pristine, dark matter fills the void unseen
Free the tiger inside of me, or what I’ve got, you will never see.
Chorus:
Dark matter//dark matter, Dark matter//dark matter
Free the tiger that’s inside of me, dark matter fills the void unseen
Dark matter//dark matter, Dark matter//dark matter
Free the tiger that’s inside of me, dark matter fills the void unseen
Verse 2:
I look to the skies and all I see, dark matter this night envelops me
Should I fear or celebrate, or up my gear and accelerate?
This universe inside my soul, is it the curse that hides the toll,
Or is it the purse, when opened wide, will reveal the treasure that’s locked inside?
My strengths and gifts are here for you; my bounty is hidden, if you only knew
The darkest scene, that void between the gloss and sheen is noble and true!
Grace and power, beauty pristine, dark matter fills the void unseen
Free the tiger inside of me, or what I’ve got, you will never see.
Chorus:
Dark matter//dark matter, Dark matter//dark matter
Free the tiger that’s inside of me, dark matter fills the void unseen
Dark matter//dark matter, Dark matter//dark matter
Free the tiger inside of me, dark matter fills the void unseen
Verse 3:
Beyond the sight of the naked eye, our bond to the light, I’m asking “Why?”
This gravity that pulls my soul, like the cavity of a black hole
And when we move beyond the fear, again we prove that bond held dear
holds us back. Release us now. Unfold the black, ya I’ll show you how!
Then we know, though our eyes still fail, beauty is here beyond light’s veil
The symphony, the poetry, the cosmic choreography, universal symmetry, the Holy Grail
Grace and power, beauty pristine, dark matter fills the void unseen
Free the tiger inside of me, or what I’ve got, you will never see!
Chorus:
Dark matter//dark matter, Dark matter//dark matter
Free the tiger inside of me, dark matter fills the void unseen
Dark matter//dark matter, Dark matter//dark matter
Free the tiger inside of me, or what I’ve got, you will never see!
