The conclusion to the double EP concept album, Balancing Act.
Lyrics
Me and the Chemicals
Out past the breakers, where the waves grow tall.
The less air above the farther the fall
Lightning strikes like a modern quickening
Like Vinnie Van Gogh, you know I’m only half listening
When the day grows dark and the warden comes to play
With my mind and make gloom in the gray
Matter or not my mind is flayed
Like broken siren knows what’s comin' my way
Brace yourself, the storm is coming
Fight or flight get your motor running
Chem trails cut across my sky
It’s just me and the chemicals in my mind
Stumblin’ and shufflin’ begging for pleadings
Can’t anyone see what I am believing?
No argument can escape this broken counselor,
either way you'll become nothing more than cannon fodder.
Brace yourself, the storm is coming
Fight or flight get your motor running
Chem trails cut across my sky
It’s just me and the chemicals in my mind
Fuck this your honor, this can’t go any farther
We’re supposed to be protectors
For better and worse trapped and cursed
There’s nothing left here for
This world we know was killed long ago
Some things never change
We do our best but all that’s left
is the will to walk away
Brace yourself, the storm is coming
Fight or flight get your motor running
Chem trails cut across my sky
It’s just me and the chemicals me and the chemicals
Brace yourself, the storm is coming
Fight or flight get your motor running
Chem trails cut across my sky
It’s just me and the chemicals in my mind
