I'm in a crisis
I need help
come on mood-shift, shift back to good again
come on, be a friend

Nina Twin is trying to help and I
really hope that she succeeds
I picked a thorny path myself
and I'm afraid, afraid of where it leads

chemicals, don't strangle my pen
chemicals, don't make me sick again
I'm always so subservient to your intent
yeah, I can't afford to replace what I spent

come on chemicals...

Nina Twin is trying to help and I
really hope that she gets me straight
'cause my own cosmology
has become too dense to navigate

I'm in a crisis
I need help
come on mood-shift, shift back to good again
come on, be a friend

2, 3, 4

chemicals, don't flatten my mind
chemicals, don't mess me up this time
though you bade me way more than you should
and it's just like you to hurt me when I'm feelin' good

come on chemicals...
