  • The lies that you sell
    They offend me
    You’re the killer
    And the kisser
    Try to not tell
    All my secrets
    Stop the pressure
    Hear the whisper
    Watching myself fade away
    How long will I live so broken
    A fallen friend, no family
    How long will I keep failing

    Can you tell that I’m hurt
    It’s critical
    All I can smell is the burn
    Of chemicals
    And slowly lose to temptation
    Let me go, let me fight
    Chemicals in my mind

    Regret as I fall
    For that sweet burn
    You’re the killer
    And the kisser
    Inject as I crawl
    To my master
    Stop the pressure
    Hear the whisper
    Watching myself fade away
    How long will I live so broken
    A fallen friend, no family
    How long will I keep failing

    Can you tell that I’m hurt
    It’s critical
    All I can smell is the burn
    Of chemicals
    And slowly lose to temptation
    Let me go, let me fight
    Chemicals in my mind

    Time missed
    I guess I’ve never contemplated
    All the time that I have missed
    Time, stress
    I guess I’ve never contemplated
    All the time wasted in stress
    Time missed
    I guess I’ve never contemplated
    All of it
    Time, stress
    I guess I’ve never contemplated
    All of it

    Can you tell that I’m hurt
    It’s critical
    All I can smell is the burn
    Of chemicals
    And slowly lose to temptation
    Let me go, let me fight
    Chemicals in my mind

    I’m not a criminal
    I hate the chemicals
    I’m not a criminal
    I hate the chemicals
    I’m not a criminal
    I hate the chemicals
    I’m not a criminal
    I hate the chemicals Writer/s: BRIAN WELCH, JASEN RYAN RAUCH, MARK L. HOLMAN, MICHAEL VALENTINE
