New Chemical Hades

I have become too apocalyptic
For my friends to want me around
Plank by plank, you can build a new ship
Will I still be the boat that you found?

I can change
Into something different
Many more characters I can play
I can change
Anytime you want it
Step back and watch as I modulate

Things have become too much like the movies
To be tossing around words like faith
Down and out, storefront psychic Brooklyn
Twelve dollars and she'll prognosticate

About change
Hard up breaking small bills
Flickering street lights and alleyways
I can change
New chemical Hades
Swallow a vessel to withstand the maze

If there's a time and place for this
I just don't think this is it
If there's a time and place again
I'm afraid we'll miss

I can change
Into something different
Many more characters I can play
I can change
New chemical Hades
Build me a vessel to withstand the haze

I have become too apocalyptic
For my friends to want me around
Plank by plank, you can build a new ship
Will I still be the boat that you found?
