chemicals

(album: monarch - 2022)

What are we doing here?
What are we trying for?
Breathing in chemicals
Looking for something more

What are we doing here?
What are we trying for?
Breathing in chemicals

Why wake up if you feel nothing when you sleep?
Secret doors you can't unlock without a key
Dirty thoughts, sweaty sheets
I thought I heard you, shit gets lucid when you dream

I keep talking to the shadows in the room
Sleep paralysis, I don't know what to do
I hear them screaming down the hallway, like "who are you?"
I can't tell if someone's there am I hallucinating too?

I close my eyes and envision something so freighting
You can't escape it when we talk you're always fighting me
I thought I knew you enough for you to confide in me
The way you held me then, was so inspiring

What are we doing here?
What are we trying for?
Breathing in chemicals
Looking for something more

What are we doing here?
What are we trying for?
Breathing in chemicals

Why wake up if you feel nothing when you sleep?
Secret doors you can't unlock without a key
Dirty thoughts, sweaty sheets
I thought I heard you, shit gets lucid when you dream

I keep talking to the shadows in the room
Sleep paralysis, I don't know what to do
I hear them screaming down the hallway, like "Who are you?"
I can't tell if someone's there am I hallucinating too?
