Chemical Romance

Chemical Romance
Bittersweet, color-coded empathy
moves around with red impunity
safrazine hijacks the sanity
it’s a rinse and repeat
you barely see that glowing path
hoping the fog will clear up fast...
next time the lightning pulls you back
from the gray shore
and your brain storms,

you won’t let no
chemical deceive you if it’s only gonna leave you brokenhearted…
baby
butterflies are justified when love only leaves you where you started
all the nerves in your bones
keep you up on your toes
see why you’re dancing on the fence
won’t let no
chemical deceive you if it’s only gonna leave you brokenhearted….
said “no more
twisting common logic into folklore”
no, you stuck to your guns until that blue force
left you wounded in a sub-atomic turf war
now you’re unsure
you even see that glowing path
or just the bottom of that flask
next time the lightning pulls you back
from the gray shore
and your brain storms,
you won’t let no
chemical deceive you if it’s only gonna leave you brokenhearted….
baby
butterflies are justified when love only leaves you where you started
all the nerves in your bones
keep you up on your toes
see why you’re dancing on the fence
won’t let no chemical deceive you if it’s only gonna leave you brokenhearted…

the fear is frozen in time, pure fight-or-flight
but the wheels keep turning inside, will they ignite?
