I never claimed to be one with material goods
Guess I'm a slave to loss of control, death to the honor roll
When I think my tirade's gotten stale
I'll put up my palisades to resist the coming hail
I was afraid to be over-dramatic
Now I'm afraid of me and it's pathetic
If I had just ten cents for every time
I choked on my barriers, I could build a house of dimes
So tell me, tell me, tell me not to look at the clear skies
Limitless flaws under bright lights
Gnaw your teeth and wait your turn is all the eye can see
And every eye's on me
It's chemical, it's chemical
Oh, waiting
Oh, waiting
Oh, waiting
It's chemical, it's chemical
So I'm preoccupied, just not with the how and the why
Guess I'm alive, but only to see advantages bury me
Wrapped in plastic and sarcastic lines
Justify my extremity, I am righteous and behind
I know a place that's new, though it's decrepit
Just like the sky I drew, but to its credit
My world is paper tiles on the wall
Pretty but precarious, and the window lets it fall
So tell me, tell me, tell me not to look at the clear skies
Limitless flaws under bright lights
Gnaw your teeth and wait your turn is all the eye can see
And every eye's on me
It's chemical, it's chemical
Oh, waiting
Oh, waiting
Oh, waiting
It's chemical, it's chemical
So tell me, tell me, tell me not to look at the clear skies
Limitless flaws under bright lights
Gnaw your teeth and wait your turn is all the eye can see
And every eye's on me
It's chemical, it's chemical
Oh, waiting
Oh, waiting
Oh, waiting
It's chemical, it's chemical
I couldn't wait to see skylines and subways
But I know the city sleeps, I've slept here all day
My world is paper tiles on the wall
Pretty but precarious, and the window lets it fall
