"Chemicals" lyrics

We are simple creatures
We've got simple minds
We try to tell ourselves
We're better till the day we fucking die
Speak of God and love
A favorite counterfeit
As if we're not a bunch of
Animals, we don't want to admit

We live illusions
Disgusted by what's real
We make excuses
Just to feel

Gimme those chemicals, chemicals
Keep me up at night
Taking my pain, taking my hurt
And making me feel alright
Feeling like an animal, animal
Lost in fight or flight
Taking my pain, give me what's real
Chemical brain, making me feel alright

We feel a burning drive
To wake, to eat, to breed
To do whatever it will take
To get that hit of dopamine
The way we get that hit
We try to justify
Some call it love, some call it devil
Either way we still deny

We live illusions
Disgusted by what's real
We make excuses
Just to feel

Gimme those chemicals, chemicals
Keep me up at night
Taking my pain, taking my hurt
And making me feel alright
Feeling like an animal, animal
Lost in fight or flight
Taking my pain, give me what's real
Chemical brain, making me feel alright
