[Verse 1]
Check the shells
Count the bands
Little spheres
On my hands
Got a core full of tightly held secrets
Outer ring full of reckless plans
S, P
Yeah, they shape my fate
D, F
Where the colors change
Fill the frame from the center to the edges
Every slot like a seat on a train
[Chorus]
Everything about inorganic chemistry
From the chalkboard dust to the lab glass glinting
From ions in a cage to a lattice in my mind
It’s the way my world is built, one block at a time
Everything about inorganic chemistry
From rust on a bike to a star gas spinning
From rocks in your palm to a chip in your phone
This is how the silent stuff sings in your bones (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Got a hero in the first two rows
Shining bright when the current flows
Then the quiet kids in the middle of the table
Heavy hearts, but they hold their own
Flip the charge, see the ties rearrange
Little sparks when the patterns change
Salts kiss water, then they fall apart laughing
Crowd goes wild at the color exchange
[Chorus]
Everything about inorganic chemistry
From the chalkboard dust to the lab glass glinting
From ions in a cage to a lattice in my mind
It’s the way my world is built, one block at a time
Everything about inorganic chemistry
From rust on a bike to a star gas spinning
From rocks in your palm to a chip in your phone
This is how the silent stuff sings in your bones (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Tell me what bonds
Tell me what breaks
Who gives
Who takes
Who stands still when the heat keeps climbing
Who changes face when the light hits sideways
Tiny rules
Running every scene
Hidden code
In the air we breathe
Every stone, every spark, every city I see
Got a little bit of lab in the scenery
[Chorus]
Everything about inorganic chemistry
From the chalkboard dust to the lab glass glinting
From ions in a cage to a lattice in my mind
It’s the way my world is built, one block at a time
Everything about inorganic chemistry
From rust on a bike to a star gas spinning
From rocks in your palm to a chip in your phone
This is how the silent stuff sings in your bones
