about

As an internal conversation, ‘Chemicals’ reflects on toxic relationships.
When you open up to someone and they abuse your trust, they hurt us even more than our worst enemies.
This song is a call to be more careful with each other, our words cut deeper than we think.

lyrics

Close control, forgive me I don’t mean to be emotional
But what I need is honesty and here we go
Circle where the knife is going in
Underneath the skin
Well general anaesthesia and all these chemicals
Will lay me down to sleep stuck in your hospital
It’s dark when I descend
And everyone pretends I’ll see the light again

Open me up
I don’t know, did you mean cut so close to the bone?
Incision made so perfectly
Are you sure I need this surgery?

No control, the last thing I wanted was for this to get personal
And I feel like I can’t hold you responsible
But I think you should know the words that you say they
Bear a lot of weight

It’s a lot, it’s a shame but I don’t think you’re to blame
Like a moth to a flame I just let you have your way
And you know where it hurts and I don’t want to depend
On you more that I have to, you’re supposed to be my friend
And we’ll probably think it’s funny in the end
I guess you didn’t know your own strength
