Lyrics:

I go so deep I get the bends
Will I find something? - that depends
She looks for purpose in the trends
The kind of life that lives to end

We’re all part of the occasion
I don’t care if I’m an imitation
Everybody’s looking for a placement
We’ll just keep on running in place like

Oh I don’t want it if it’s real
I disappear into the feels
Oh I’m on that blurry state of mind
Chemical days and halogen nights
Chemical days and halogen nights

I wanna talk and be polite
She wanna psychoanalyse
But can I offer some advice?
Be careful where you stick the knife

We’re all part of the occasion
Dancing on the floor until it caves in
She’s speaking French but I don’t need a translation
C’est nouveaux rôles et fou paroles mais c’est la même scène

Oh I don’t want it if it’s real
I disappear into the feels
Oh I’m on that blurry state of mind
Chemical days and halogen nights
Chemical days and halogen nights

High above the city
Circle ‘til we’re dizzy
Drown in our self pity
Chemical days and halogen nights

High above the city
Circle ‘til we’re dizzy
Drown in our self pity
Chemical days and halogen nights

Oh I don’t want it if it’s real
I disappear into the feels
Oh I’m on that blurry state of mind
Chemical days and halogen nights
Chemical days and halogen nights

Chemical days and halogen nights
Chemical days and halogen nights

(On the Halogen Nights)
