Alchemy

[Melodic Instrumental Intro] [Catchy Hook] (MORE) ... (MORE) ... (MORE) ... (I NEED--) More! [Verse] Another grey day in my home, A meaningless office job and an empty, cold soul, Mean-ial labor or government favors, Those are the choices, There's no time for art, no time for art, no, [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I need alchemy, To help cope with these incessant depressants of my life, [Chorus] Oh, Alchemy, A little tonic to replace the happiness I should feel, but can't afford, No, I can't afford it, So I need more alchemy to move me forward, [Catchy Hook] (MORE) ... (MORE) ... (I NEED--) [Guitar Solo] [Verse] Another nip, another hit, Any thing to keep the shade at bay, And I don't notice, no, I don't notice the slow bleed of the blue blaze, subtly replaced by red haze, What could go wrong? [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I need alchemy, To help cope with these incessant depressants of my life, [Chorus] Oh, Alchemy, A little tonic to replace the happiness I should feel, but can't afford, No, I can't afford it, So I need more alchemy to move me forward, [Catchy Hook] (MORE) ... (MORE) ... (I NEED--) ...more... [Instrumental Hook] [Interlude] Oh, what can go wrong, Crushing the child within with broken promises? My back breaks from the aches that the men at the top drop down on me, oh, Was it meant to be this way? [Bridge] I'm feeling played, Like a broken game, No rooks or knights to save my king, and the queen is long gone, no, It feels stacked, Stacked against me, Any time I try to break away and live my life, They slap me down again, oooh ooh oh--no, They say I'll have the time, but it'll have to wait, Have to wait till I'm almost dead anyway, It's only fair, ...Right? [Build] But till then, advertisements of intoxicants, of fool's gold tricks, more distractions keep me grinding on... Do they want me in a haze? Do they want me in a haze? What do they gain, When I'm low on life but high on-- [Catchy Hook] (MORE) ... (MORE ALCHEMY) ... (I NEED--) MORE! [Interlude] Oh, do I need alchemy... To keep moving forward? [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I need alchemy, To help cope with these incessant depressants of my life, [Chorus] Oh, Alchemy, A little tonic to replace the happiness I should feel, but can't afford, No, I can't afford it, So I need more alchemy to move me forward, [Chorus] Whoa-oh-oooh, Alchemy, A little tonic to replace the happiness I should feel, but can't afford, No, I can't afford it, So I need more alchemy to move me forward, [Refrain] One day, The last will be first, And the first will be last, But can I survive that long? I don't know... One day, The last will be first, And the first will be last, But as I cope with this life, Can I keep myself, Or will it drown, Drown me in the haze...? [Outro] ...Please, please, please, I don't wanna be, In this alchemy, I want to live my life in peace, ...But they won't let me...
