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
