Chemical Exchange: Title track is about a fictional synthetic human (a synthapien we've coined him) who must crawl thru a ditch of oil to stay alive. As he is crawling to his Zion city off in the distance, his closest friend, a pixie, is encouraging him on, as she confesses her love to him. Very futuristically botanical.

lyrics

What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?
What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?

I torn off the left side of my face
I couldn’t blink or look away
All of emotions will sooth
I will drag through oil

What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?
What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?

The sun is a goddess herself
Reflecting your legs to my silhouette
I can’t remember your thoughts
But I will find ways to your heart

And I know it’s a crime
To be thinking so far
Love and lust Demonized
Escaping to films
Of my chemical exchange
Faulting to my compromise
I’m falling into you

What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?
What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?

I torn off the left side of my face
I couldn’t blink or look away
All of emotions will sooth
I will drag through oil

What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?
What did you say?
What do you do?
What did you mean by that?

The sun is a goddess herself
Reflecting your legs to my silhouette
I can’t remember your thoughts
But I will find ways to your heart

And I know it’s a crime
To be thinking so far
Love and lust Demonized
Escaping to films
Of my chemical exchange
Faulting to my compromise
