Chemical Burns

Birthmarks are burned with time
Earmarks are lost in greed
Ballparks are built to tumble
With memories

'Cause living upstairs outside your window
I finally found a little symbol
Carving our sins
A misfit groveling

Harmless hearts (just raise your skirt a little)
Countless starts (echos of tainted love)
Anxious wounds (perfection isn't free)
Drowned in youth

Love in a dark room
Develop our past in photos
Chemical burns and harmless hearts

Classrooms where notes are passed
Lunchrooms where drugs are free
Costumes are made to cover the red eye thieves

Sneaking out of class late in the morning
To find to find, a little trouble
Amateur needs
We'll shoot among the weeds

Harmless hearts (just raise your skirt a little)
Countless starts (echos of tainted love)
Anxious wounds (perfection isn't free)
Drowned in youth

Love in a dark room
Develop our past in photos
Chemical burns and harmless hearts
