Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chemical
Animial
I don't know
Simplify
To get by
To notify
[Chorus]
There is something you should know
There is something I don't show
I fill myself with chemicals
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show
[PostChorus]
Chemical animal
Chemical animal
[Instrumental]
Please illuminate
Please illuminate
Please don't hesitate
To illuminate
[Verse 2]
I'm not pleased to meet you
I don't need to meet you
I don't want to meet you
You don't want to meet me too
[Instrumental]
There is something you should know
There is something I don't show
I fill myself with chemicals
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show
[Outro]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
