lyrics

I lost myself among divinity
we do not actually exist for you

all my thoughts are chemicals
all my wisdom is in cells
i am an imbalance
in the empty space between my cells

say hello to seratonin
she's gonna be the death of me
throwing my humanity in the flame
just to make me think i'm happy

what is the molecular compound of passion
what is the chemical makeup of love
why do i know that I am alive
why do my thoughts break down to chemicals

all my pain is in a pill
my flaws are biodegradable
i am an imbalance
in the empty space between my cells
i'd like you to meet lithium
please remember his goddamn name
he's as much of me as my identity
cause he's the one that causes this pain

to scrape cells upon cells to create sentences
impulses firing and cells straining
to assemble a portable spark in you
inside your tangle of bones and sinew
we are all just molecules
all of your pain is in your cells
and inside your atoms is empty space
a gap to flood with chemicals
we do not actually exist for you
