Chemical Therapy


More of a snarl than a grin
But I’ll take it just the same
‘Cause it’s the best you’re able to give

Breathe that hot air on me
Like chemical therapy
Searing my skin just to see what’s beneath

And I don’t know why we fight like this
But these knuckles are worn down to bone
Threw in the towel but you wanted blood
Like you’re collecting it for fun

Set ablaze the words unspoke
A trail coated by the blackest smoke
And despite all that’s come undone
The worst is yet to come

Breathe that hot air on me
Like chemical therapy
Searing my skin just to see what’s beneath
Take more than you need
A glass half full of deceit
Pins and needles under my feet
While I sleep, while I sleep

From across the sky as they fall down
Tattered leaves all to remind us now
A forest once rich and full of sound
Now pins and needles on the ground

Now pins and needles on the ground
