Lock and load
Shoot it up
Do it again
Can't get enough
Life going nowhere fast
As you continue running
Dodging
Round after round
Rather than holding your ground
With stealth and cunning
Standing and fighting
For your inalienable right
To see the world about you through undialated eyes
To actually feel what it is like to be
Alive and carefree
Always easier to believe in the same old lies
Chemical Warfare
The coward's way out that never leads anywhere
Duck, run for cover
Bombs bursting in the air
Take a few more hits from the bong
And just sit there and stare
Incoming, head for the bunker
As the world comes crashing down
Fire!
FIRE!
Take another snort from the mirror
And get even
Higher
HIGHER
Leave your worries behind
Nevermind
That the only life you've taken for granted
Is bleeding out
Bleeding dry
Why bother to even try
Unable to find a measure of peace
War machine continues to roll
Tommorrow, just like yesterday
The day to day coping takes it's toll
The coping mechanisms take control
Corroding, eating away your soul
Chemical Warfare
Why bother to even care
Lock and load
Soon there will be nothing more to fear
Shoot it up
Take another snort from the mirror
It's always easier to believe in the same old lies
Just keep firing away at the enemy in your sight
Fire!
FIRE!
Until you can no longer can see the whites of their eyes
Just enough to make it through one more night
