Just A Chemical

[Verse 1]
You said “forever” in the stairwell
Hands shaking like the walls might fall
Kissed me like a dare, like a bad idea
Said, “Promise you won’t feel this at all”
I learned better scrolling through my phone
Brain scans, bright dots, black-and-white proof
It’s just sparks and signals in my skull
But it still drags me back to you (yeah)
[Chorus]
Guess love’s just a chemical
But it’s got me acting spiritual
Praying to a face on a cracked-up screen
Chasing that rush like it’s gasoline
Say it’s all in my head
Then why you living there, paying no rent?
If love’s just a chemical
Why does it still feel biblical?
[Verse 2]
You left hair ties on my nightstand
Little landmines I keep stepping on
Every smell, every song, every sidewalk crack
Pulls me back where we went wrong
I tell my friends, “It’s biology”
They laugh and pour another drink
But every time my heart starts racing
I still see you at the kitchen sink (damn)
[Chorus]
Guess love’s just a chemical
But it’s got me acting spiritual
Praying to a face on a cracked-up screen
Chasing that rush like it’s gasoline
Say it’s all in my head
Then why you living there, paying no rent?
If love’s just a chemical
Why does it still feel biblical?
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m a lab rat
Running through your maze
Maybe you’re a habit
I can’t throw away
If it’s only signals
Why’s it hurt this bad?
If it’s just a sequence
Why’d you take all I had?
[Chorus]
Guess love’s just a chemical
But it’s got me acting spiritual
Praying to a face on a cracked-up screen
Chasing that rush like it’s gasoline
Say it’s all in my head
Then why you living there, paying no rent?
If love’s just a chemical
Why does it still feel biblical?

rap, Moody emo rap over sparse trap drums and detuned guitar loops, male vocals. Introspective verses sit in a close, whispered pocket; chorus opens wide with layered, slightly distorted hooks. Sub-bass swells in the hook, with subtle vocal chops and auto-tuned harmonies lifting the emotion. Occasional halftime switch for impact, reverb-drenched snare hits, and a gritty, slightly saturated mix to keep it raw., emo, alternative rock, alternative hip hop, hip hop
