Chemical Sweat

Elliot Root


It's a 24/7
Working your fingers to the bone kind of week
Said it's a human condition
Trying my best to turn it into a disease

I keep my money where my mouth is
I don't know why
It never tastes as good
As I believe it should
Such a faint disguise
I will find my own way down

Somebody told me to call you
(I don't know why)
Somebody told me to call you
(I don't know why)
It's a chemical sweat keeping me up at night
It's a chemical sweat keeping me up at night
I don't know why

And now I'm walking in a straight line
I don't know where it goes
And everybody's looking up for something big
But it's all just a show
I keep my money where my mouth is
So my teeth won't grind
The pressure builds up to a boiling point
But I can't let it go

I will find my own way out

Somebody told me to call you
(I don't know why)
Somebody told me to call you
(I don't know why)

It's a chemical sweat keeping me up at night
I don't know why
It's a chemical sweat keeping me up at night
I don't know why

Chemical sweat keeping me up at night
It's a chemical sweat keeping me up at night
Said it's a chemical sweat keeping me up at night
It's a chemical sweat keeping me up at night
I don't know why
