Chemicals Change

Father always said
Love's a nice day job
But it won't pay the rent
If love's the truth
Your heart's the consequence

Five days ago
Chemicals changed
Rearranged themselves
In set stubborn ways

Said honey I spend my life
Splitting words like hairs
If I had nerves of steel
I'd never have to care

You asked for a song
And I'm giving you an album
No, no love tonight
This is not the song
You begged me to write

Can I revise a statement
That I may have made
Can I pull up floors
Can I pour on new paint

Can I lay down tonight
And just forget your face
Cause these chemicals have changed
There's nothing left but space
