Chemical Cure

well this will set you right
it's supposed to numb the feeling, get you high
so go on and take the cure
and free yourself from care because it hurts

you can't kill the flame
you can't kill the flame

there's something that i lost
but now i can't remember what it was
the trail is growing cold
and i can't find the way that takes me home

you can't kill the flame
you can't kill the flame

but i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure
i don't want to have to turn
all the sad songs into love
happy ends for everyone
look without look within
misdirection wearing thin
i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure

the world will still go on
the earth will keep revolving round the sun
there's something that we lost
and now we can't remember what it was

we can't kill the flame
we can't kill the flame

but i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure
i don't want to have to turn
all the sad songs into love
happy ends for everyone
look without look within
misdirection wearing thin
i'm tired of chasing a chemical cure

i’m throwing shadows up on the wall
a simple deception is easiest of all
my mind is aching, my heart’s a slave
the gentlest prison is the hardest one to break

i want it all
and then some more
