lyrics

The lights flash
won’t someone get us to the hospital?
A slow crash
I’m thinking maybe that I lost control
Will we find that this is all we’ll know?
‘Cause I think you and I are nothing more than our chemicals.

To the unknown.

It’s not right,
I told you that I'd never let you down
So hold tight
‘cause come tomorrow we’ll still be around
Will we find that this is all we’ll know?
‘Cause I think you and I are nothing more than our chemicals

To the unknown
but we just can’t let it go
and I think you know
we’ll leave a mark on the way out
Oh, we just can’t let it go
and I think you know
we’ll leave a mark on the way ou.

And we’ll try
but we still take for granted all this time
if there’s a lesson here worth learning I’m sure it already left my mind
If we find that this is all we’ll know
it just don’t matter if we’re nothing more than our chemicals

To the unknown
but we just can’t let it go
and I think you know
we’ll leave a mark on the way out.
Oh, we just can’t let it go
and I think you know
we’ll leave a mark on the way out

It’s a sudden pill to swallow we refuse outright
it’s not our time, this is not our time
