lyrics

Soaking in these chemicals
Just cannot get dry
Why are all the poison ones
All that I can find?
Some days
I wish you'd vacate my mind
Others I kid myself that I'll
Be just fine

I told myself I'd treat you
Like air in my lungs
Precious for seconds
Not missed when it's gone
But I was so scared
To let it in
Like it my poison
Me again
And then it did

Soaking in these chemicals
Just cannot get dry
Why are all the poison ones
All that I can find?
Some days
I wish you'd vacate my mind
Others I kid myself that I'll
Be just fine

And now I wear this smile
It's two way glass
Dying on
The other side of it
Call me a kleptomaniac
I took a piece of you
I'm never giving back
It's all I've got left

Soaking in these chemicals
Just cannot get dry
Why are all the poison ones
All that I can find?
Some days
I wish you'd vacate my mind
Others I kid myself that I'll
Be just fine

SOAKING IN CHEMICALS
JUST CAN'T GET DRY
WHY ARE THE GOOD ONES
SO HARD TO FIND?
SOME DAYS I WISH YOU'D JUST VACATE MY MIND
OTHERS I KID MYSELF I'M GONNA BE JUST FINE
