Chemistry

Steam overlapping my colors dissolving in pools of dank landscape reverting from tools/Used information of nation inflation and dreams bleeding road tar, building beyond means/Shootouts and stabbings and bombings and beatings and organized violence decaying your streets/Water is fleeting, your shores are receding and you've only so much time to preach out your peace

Lay down your guards and your weapons defend
We've concocted a weapon that no knife can bend
It steams in your veins and cascades in your pores
Your soldiers will scramble to poison your stores
No need to ship under the cover of dark
With victims too willing to stop their own hearts
Lying in squalor boiling their lives away
We'll ease down your ballasts and intrude you someday
But at that point in time you won't care either way
No will to fight it, no strength to convey
Huddled in a corner ripping scabs upon your knees
Blinded of surroundings, breath a fume-exhausted wheeze
Your flying high has crashed to die, your fuel is running out
Clogging blood and flame and sinew with a devastating breeze
Rent money up your arteries
Your family in the dirt
Your friends held up at needlepoint
But you transcend the hurt
Borne by years of slow decay
Self-pity, fear, and shame
Aloft on Technicolor clouds
You all forget your name
Our vats and syringes more lethal than guns
Dissolving the ranks of your daughters and sons
Converting to beggars your iron-clad young
On ropes made of moonbeams they slowly are hung
