Chemical Burns

[Verse 1]
He said my skin was soft like a baby
Which he loved, naturally
And he loved it, naturally
He still loved it after I'd leave
Under his nails and all over his sheets
It must have been hard forgetting me
I sent him pictures sporadically
Because it's nice to feel sexy
And it's nice to know someone somewhere
Is up late thinking about me
Is up late jacking off to me
Is up late demonizing me
I just planted a little seed
And now he's planting a little seed
A little seed, a little alchemy
A cherry bleach on the rocks for me

[Chorus]
Chemical burns on my tongue
Chemical burns on my lips
Chemical burns under my nose
Chemical burns on my finger tips
Chemical burns in my lungs
Chemicals burn when I sigh
Chemicals turn on my side
Chemical burns on my fucking eyes

[Verse 2]
You won't fade away from me
You'll always remain in me
I'll refrain from making you
Take new roots, I'll always wait for you

[Chorus]
Chemical burns on my tongue
Chemical burns on my lips
Chemical burns under my nose
Chemical burns on my finger tips
Chemical burns in my lungs
Chemicals burn when I sigh
Chemicals turn on my side
Chemical burns on my fucking eyes

[Verse 3]
Now it's not quite as soft as it used to be
Shelf life is running out for me
My half-life is shorter than you think
But I feel you germinating inside me
Feast your eyes on the knowledge tree
Take a bite of the fruit you seek
And you'll learn what it means to be
Obedient in the first degree

[Chorus]
Chemical burns on my tongue
Chemical burns on my lips
Chemical burns under my nose
Chemical burns on my finger tips
Chemical burns in my lungs
Chemicals burn when I sigh
Chemicals turn on my side
Chemical burns on my fucking eyes
