[Verse 1]
Glass bottles
Empty
Heavy liquid lies
You spray the wrist to hide the rust
The scent of musk
Is just a mask
For a soul turned cold

[Chorus]
It is all a chemical trick
Such a cruel
And clever trick
Vile vapor 
Washing over me
It is all a chemical trick
Such a cruel
And clever trick

[Verse 2]
Sweet jasmine
Choking out the truth
I see the rot beneath your skin
The gardenia
The orchid
The rose
All these petals are thin
So paper thin
Wilted 
Dry
Wasted on a ghost like you

[Chorus]
It is all a chemical trick
Such a cruel
And clever trick
Vile vapor 
Washing over me
It is all a chemical trick
Such a cruel
And clever trick

[Bridge]
Wash it off
Wash it all off
Wash it right off
The water knows the way
The soap knows the way
The drain knows the way
Nothing smells as foul as a lie

[Verse 3]
A splash
Of fake
Summer rain
Drowning the stench of your regret
I remember
I recall
I regret
The day you bought that vial

[Chorus]
It is all a chemical trick
Such a cruel
And clever trick
Vile vapor 
Washing over me
It is all a chemical trick
Such a cruel
And clever trick

[Outro]
Just a trick
Just a trick
Such a cruel and clever trick
Go on
Spray it again
Hide away
Hide away
Hide away
