Chemicals

Well the doctor said I don't need medicine
But I got straight to my head again
I can’t sleep
Without dreaming up an end
I tried to write another song
But the next minute, all of it was gone
I can't think
Without something going wrong
So I'll pop some pills
But don’t blame me

‘Cause I still need chemicals in my brain
I still need something to soothe that pain
No, I'm not independent, independent
I only have myself to blame
Yeah, I still need chemicals in my heart
I still need someplace I can start
‘Cause I'm not independent independent
Woah, I need chemicals

Feeding my subtle addictions
Like caffeine, sugar, or self-confliction
I can't blink
Without searching a source of dopamine
And all these self-destructive habits
Like breaking something good to never bury the hatchet
I can't flee
But I never try to find me
So what if I pop some pills?

‘Cause I still need chemicals in my brain
I still need something to soothe that pain
No, I'm not independent, independent
I only have myself to blame
Yeah, I still need chemicals in my heart
I still need someplace I can start
‘Cause I'm not independent independent
Woah, I need chemicals

I still need chemicals in my brain
I still need something to soothe that pain
No, I'm not independent, independent
I only have myself to blame
Yeah, I still need chemicals in my heart
I still need someplace that I can start
‘Cause I’m not independent independent
Woah, I need chemicals
