Chemicals Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The lies that you sell, they offend me
You're the killer and the kisser
Try to not tell all my secrets
Stop the pressure, hear the whisper

[Pre-Chorus]
Watching myself fade away
How long will I live so broken?
A fallen friend, no family
How long will I keep, keep, keep failing?

[Chorus]
Can you tell that I hurt? It's critical
All I can smell is the burn of chemicals
And slowly losing temptation
Let me go, let me fight chemicals in my mind

[Verse 2]
Regret as I fall for that sweet burn
You're the killer and the kisser
Inject as I crawl to my master
Stop the pressure, hear the whisper

[Pre-Chorus]
Watching myself fade away
How long will I live so broken?
A fallen friend, no family
How long will I keep, keep, keep failing?
[Chorus]
Can you tell that I hurt? It's critical
All I can smell is the burn of chemicals
And slowly losing temptation
Let me go, let me fight chemicals in my mind

[Bridge]
Time missed
I guess I've never contemplated all the time that I have missed
Time, stress
I guess I've never contemplated all the time wasted in stress
Time missed
I guess I've never contemplated all of it
Time, stress
I guess I’ve never contemplated all of it

[Chorus]
Can you tell that I hurt? It's critical
All I can smell is the burn of chemicals
And slowly losing temptation
Let me go, let me fight chemicals in my mind

[Outro]
I'm not a criminal, I hate the chemicals
I'm not a criminal, I hate the chemicals
I'm not a criminal, I hate the chemicals
I'm not a criminal, I hate the chemicals

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
