Chemistry Lyrics
[Intro:]
You’re perfect the way you are
But let’s cover up those scars
Purple and blue seem to fit you
But can we try out a greyscale hue?
[Verse 1:]
Your sickness makes you think less in a panicked state
Fill the hole again with chemicals before it's too late
Don’t worry there’s no hurry
One more side effect
It’ll make you feel like new
But is this really you?
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh what a mess my chemistry has become
[Verse 2:]
Now now now now that’s no way to be
It really has nothing to do
With what you see in the mirror
Your mind is your shadow and your shadow is me
I'll deceive your hopes and dreams
And patch your unbalanced genes
Don't fight it, invite it inside of your head
Let it change all your marks from when you wish you were dead
I'd rather you be alive in a hospital bed
But is it really living when you hang by a thread
There’s always that sense of dread because
You’re perfect the way you are
But let’s cover up those scars
Purple and blue seem to fit you
But can we try out a greyscale hue?
[Verse 1:]
Your sickness makes you think less in a panicked state
Fill the hole again with chemicals before it's too late
Don’t worry there’s no hurry
One more side effect
It’ll make you feel like new
But is this really you?
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh what a mess my chemistry has become
[Verse 2:]
Now now now now that’s no way to be
It really has nothing to do
With what you see in the mirror
Your mind is your shadow and your shadow is me
I'll deceive your hopes and dreams
And patch your unbalanced genes
Don't fight it, invite it inside of your head
Let it change all your marks from when you wish you were dead
I'd rather you be alive in a hospital bed
But is it really living when you hang by a thread
There’s always that sense of dread because
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh what a mess my chemistry has become
[Bridge]
Treating daylight like amphetamines
Having trouble finding an inbetween
My balance is a little bit broken
I’m just trying to stay alive
But all I ever ask is who am I
Today?
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh what a mess my chemistry has become
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh, what a mess, what a mess, what a mess
I have become
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh what a mess my chemistry has become
[Bridge]
Treating daylight like amphetamines
Having trouble finding an inbetween
My balance is a little bit broken
I’m just trying to stay alive
But all I ever ask is who am I
Today?
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh what a mess my chemistry has become
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I get depressed
When all the colors bleed together
Need to ingest
A little pill to make me feel numb
Oh, what a mess, what a mess, what a mess
I have become
