Our Chemicals




My soul is
burning
like the core of the sun
Fragile, but still pushing through at lightspeed
Engines are
throttling;
I'll make it to your heart
But I'll be damned if I can make it past myself
These cursed
Thoughts here
up in my crushing mind
Every thought I have's a simple shade of all I see
I'm too low
to fear
yet always dying inside
My chemicals welcome you to this personal hell


There was a time when I never had to fight my wars
But that innocence is long gone
Tell your demons I'll defend you from them

We're all in this fight
and from our chemicals, I won't ever run
No, I won't run from this loaded gun


In freefall,
seems we
were made to break in tears
If shadows could bleed, reality might fall apart
Won't leave or
deceive
This is just you and me
Stand by my side, I'll give you something to hold on to
The monsters
inside
Let's fight them together
You have hope; just look for it in the stars
These demons
weak to
the strength inside our hearts
Don't you worry, it'll be okay and we'll make it through
the dark...


There was a time when I never had to fight these wars
But that innocence is long gone
Tell your demons I'll defend you from them
And I won't run from this loaded gun
Games of tension and depression
I'll show you the potential of a pawn
in this race, this world of chaos
From our chemicals, I won't ever run


Listening to your cries
A pain that's hard to bear inside
Cold, dark; descriptors of
the battle to rise up above
Take my hand, don't lose here
This is a war that must adhere
So through the blinding clouds
We'll make it through, we won't fall down

The storm rages on
We've overdosed on a life spent running
To and from the world
Don't back down now, our time'll be spent fighting

So we'll never turn around
Even if we have fallen down
Don't lose hope, I am your shield
So we'll never have to yield
And through the dark and killer days
We'll melt our demons away
Fallen, we're stronger than fear
Let's stand together right here


There was a time when I never had to fight these wars
But that innocence is long gone
Tell your demons I'll defend you from them
And I won't run from this loaded gun
Games of tension and depression
I'll show you the potential of a pawn
in this race, this world of chaos
From our chemicals, I won't ever run


And there were times I hadn't felt grateful to be
alive
Now I'm here; bones shaking, but we're bright
inside
We don't have to be alone
today
I will fight our demons all
away 
Games of tension and depression
I'll show you how to live so long
in this race, this world of chaos
From our chemicals, we will never run


There was a time when I never had to fight these wars
But that innocence is long gone
Tell your demons I'll defend you from them
And I won't run from this loaded gun
Games of tension and depression
I'll show you the potential of a pawn
in this race, this world of chaos
From our chemicals, we won't ever run


It's where our demons hide
And how I finally feel alive
To be human, to want to free
ourselves from the beasts within the seams
Don't fret, 'cause we're like fighters
Stronger than hatred, fear, or desire
I'll try to cease the hauntings in our minds
Until it's just you, the demons, and I


I won't ever run

from this loaded gun
From our chemicals,
no, I will never run

I'll never run away
I'm here to stay
I won't ever run away
I'll live to see brighter days.
