The Chemist Lyrics by FORTS

The Chemist

2022

[Verse 1]
I had a mile-long stare
It went right through you
Smothering you in humid air
But you don't see it, do you?
You shook me like an oak
But I stayed inward
Sky filled with acid smoke
A damn lonely pillar

[Chorus]
I don't trust myself anymore when it's grey out
'Cause it's too late for the leash when it comes out
Pale skin, I strangle my bed
I wrestle with my sheets
Try to untangle myself
From the creature that I keep

[Verse 2]
If could break this loop
I'd leave her behind
I'd leave her shackled to this room
Hidden and confined
'Cause I've been seein' how it's feedin'
And it's sicker than I thought
Devolution
She's got a bite only born in confusion

[Chorus]
I don't trust myself anymore when it's grey out
'Cause it's too late for the leash when it comes out
Pale skin, I strangle my bed
I wrestle with my sheets
Try to untangle myself
From the creature that I keep

[Bridge]
I don't trust myself
'Cause it's too late
'Cause it's too late
I don't trust myself anymore
'Cause it's too late
It's too late

[Chorus]
I don't trust myself anymore when it's grey out
'Cause it's too late for the leash when it comes out
Pale skin, I strangle my bed
I wrestle with my sheets
Try to untangle myself
From the creature that I keep (Yeah)
I don't trust myself anymore when it's grey out
'Cause it's too late for the leash when it comes out
Pale skin, I strangle my bed
I wrestle with my sheets
Try to untangle myself
From the creature that I keep
