But baby you're an alchemist,

Transmuting pain and sorrow into beauty.

A chemist of all things good.

I am an arsonist with a handful of matches.

Setting fires to destroy the things I love,

Just to stay warm.

We are like oil and water.

A chemical reaction gone wrong.

We shouldn't mix but we do.

And I won't drown myself so you can stay dry.

-I'll drag you down with me
