Chemical as they come
Poison woman (uh-huh)
Not up to me at all
Bigger they are, harder they fall
Pit of snakes in the desert
I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it
Shake (shake) of the rattle
Coming, calling, waiting, watching
For you to come over
Chemicals (uh-huh)
Not up to me at all
Bigger they are, harder they call
Pit snakes in the corner
I would've believed it even if I didn't
Shake (shake) of the rattle
Calling coming, waiting, watching
Chemical as they come
Poison woman (uh-huh)
Not up to me at all
Bigger they come, harder they fall
Pit of snakes in the desert
I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it
I know the rattle
Coming, calling, waiting, watching

Middle

Ninety-nine percent
When it comes to the statistic
A universal truth
Lacking a crucial element
A head that points the way to fly
A heart to give a reason why
Amorphous soul to make it right this time
It's time
*The third part is a mystery
Found only to some but it's lost on me
I keep tabs on the middle
and lay it down when you're up
twenty-odd per cent
without knowing what I meant
Inconsequential fodder
You told me all the reasons why
It doesn't change that you don't cry
Repeating lines from when we last talked

Making decisions like taking a walk in the sand
Not even tuned to the static mountain
And yet he takes her remarks
As anything but a serious act
He doesn't laugh, he doesn't flutter
But he doesn't
*Look back
Don't see
I want
To be
Alone
Since I met you I didn't know why
And everyone said it mattered
Everybody said it would hurt
I am the one who makes decisions
Walking in the sand or in the dirt

Merit

Finally
Something that I never thought would happen
And for once we felt a part of it, but did we know?
Anything could've hit us at that moment
And we could've found merit in the thinnest thread
Don't play dumb
Reaching back
Further than I ever thought I could go
To show you a part of me even I didn't know
Everything
About us is confusion
But would we last under any other circumstance?

It's a tie that binds us all
An assuming mind
In the sense that we want to fill in all our time
It's a time that finds us all
In the same mind
Never wanting to see difference in our kind
It's the same experience
With a different mind
See it all in the beginning
Headstart of a lifetime

That was on you
That it isn't true
It wasn't anymore
Or any less
The fingers of a Sagittarius
On Aries lingers
His speed is rest to all of us
It's clean water
At least for now
It's clean water
But it wouldn't go down
He kept walking, spinning around
It wasn't any more
Or any less
The fingers of another
On your heart linger
And speed is death to all of us
And it's clean enough
Or at least the are here is more precious
We live under water
"Someday," he told me, "The rise of the river is going to catch up to you. There ain't a way to swim, discover your gills, and learn how to live under it. We are alive despite the river, and we are alive in spite of the river."
