C-h-em---isss---tree (Chemistry)

C-h-em---isss---tree

The boy looks into the mirror, repeating the phrase fine-tuning, working it like a good sales pitch down to the bone

C-h-em---isss---tree

It’s like rehearsal for death
He mumbles to himself
Do you love me?
He asks aloud

C-h-em---isss---tree

The email is returned
A lesson goes unheard
He doesn’t care

C-h-em---isss---tree

Just isn’t fair
