My Alchemy

Here's a truth
We fight against,
But let me make it clear
And it might hit you like a ton of bricks.

I don't mean to
Sound obscene
But what we got ain't rare,
It's just a way we find another fix.
It's just a way we find another fix.

Now I see myself as others see.
I'm a user and I'll always be.
You're my medicine, my alchemy,
And I use you like you're using me.

You're an ocean.
I'll drink your potion.
Satisfy me quick.
Let's indulge this mystic paradigm.

'Cause one day
our love like tides
will turn and make us sick,
but till then I'll stay wilfully blind.

But till then I'll stay wilfully blind.
Now I see myself as others see.
I'm a user and I'll always be.

You're my medicine, my alchemy,
And I use you like you're using me.

"It ain't constructive
To be reductive,"
You cry so awful blue.

Oh, my love, I think you have mistook.
I am certain
I will be hurtin'
But when our chapters through,
I'll turn around and start another book.
Now I see myself as others see.
I'm a user and I'll always be.

You're my medicine, my alchemy,
And I use you like you're using me.
(Like you're using me.)
(Like you're using me.)

And I use you like you're using me.
(Like you're using me.)
(Like you're using me.)

And I use you like you're using me.
(Like you're using me.)
Like you're using me
(Like you're using me.)
No, like you're using me.
(Like you're using me.)
Like you're using me.
(Like you're using me.)
No, you are using me.
