The Chemist (Acoustic) Lyrics
One more time, we become.
Masquerade under sun.
Passionless vacation.
You’re not telling anyone.
The sum falls in the whole;
It’s chemistry, chemical.
Follow the pattern, if you can
Stick around it will change again.
One more line; stay focused.
Hollow, quiet, I feel sick.
Misunderstanding, ten feet tolerance.
I’m not telling anyone.
You’re not telling anyone.
The sound is atrocious-
The mouse horrific.
I recognize those last words.
I’ll hold on to mine.
Lying out in the sun,
Keep it like a secret.
Elements in the pool were
all dried up and
Here comes the chemist again.
This is everything I am.
Masquerade under sun.
Passionless vacation.
You’re not telling anyone.
It’s chemistry, chemical.
Follow the pattern, if you can
Stick around it will change again.
Hollow, quiet, I feel sick.
Misunderstanding, ten feet tolerance.
I’m not telling anyone.
You’re not telling anyone.
The mouse horrific.
I recognize those last words.
I’ll hold on to mine.
Keep it like a secret.
Elements in the pool were
all dried up and
Here comes the chemist again.
This is everything I am.

how can nobody comment this..this is a really deep song. about what, i dont know. its really deep though and has to have some special meaning this song is amazing and is at the end of Days Of New, like 8 minutes into it as a hidden track
These lyrics are wrong. I believe it's "the sound is atrocious, the mouths horrific".
I think refering to the sound of the gunshot being atrocious. The song is about Derrick Plourde and how doing drugs made him depressed "elements in the pool were all dried up" meaning how some drugs cause a release of neurotransmitters like serotonin then the person becomes depressed later because that neurotransmitter is all used up.
"You're not telling anyone" of course saying that he never told anyone about how bad his problems were and "hollow quiet I feel sick" how he felt when he heard Derrick took his own life.

aegion is kinda right but remember that this song we know is about Derrick, but it was written before his death. so it can't be about the gunshot...
Yeah this song was written before he killed himself. There were some lyrical changes made I think. The original is on the Live in a Dive record.
