Chemical Society

Lyrics

Intro
I found your name in the powder
On a cold steel tray
I heard it click in the hallway
Then the doors obey

Verse 1
White gloves on a black floor
Count the bodies twice
Every little promise
Cut and measured nice
You smile like a warning
Stamped on my skin
I taste the rust of your mercy
When you let me in

Pre-Chorus
Now the air is crawling
Through the vents again
Hear the locks go talking
Let it sink in
Let it sink in

Chorus
Chemical society
Take my name away
Chemical society
Make the old wounds stay
Chemical society
We all learn to bend
Chemical society
Till the shape won’t mend

Verse 2
No eyes in the window
Just a red scan line
Every prayer gets sorted
Every pulse declines
You build me in pieces
Then you call it home
I can hear my bones talking
In a language of chrome

Pre-Chorus
Now the air is crawling
Through the vents again
Hear the locks go talking
Let it sink in
Let it sink in

Chorus
Chemical society
Take my name away
Chemical society
Make the old wounds stay
Chemical society
We all learn to bend
Chemical society
Till the shape won’t mend

Breakdown
Hush
Bite down
Stay low
Stay clean
Hands up
Head down
Machine
Machine

Verse 3
I wore your silence
Like a second face
Saw my own reflection
In the spill, in the haze
You fed me the needle
You fed me the lie
Now the dark keeps growing
Where the light used to die

Bridge
inhuman vocals
Cut
Cut
Cut
We are the same
Fold
Fold
Fold
Into the flame
No more skin
No more shore
Only the hum
Behind the door

Breakdown
Chemical
Chemical
Society
Society
Break the mold
Break the mold
Let me breathe
Let me breathe

Outro
I found your name in the powder
On a cold steel tray
Chemical society
Won’t wash away
