Palisades - Better Chemicals Lyrics






Another night
Leaves up in my head
Leaves me in my dread
Recycling the bad dreams
So can you tell me how to make it stop short of being dead?
Mouth is hanging open, shot eyes are full of lead
I just wanna let you know
Sometimes I don't let it show

I need better chemicals, I know
Cause nothing helps anymore, oh no
Need better chemicals to show
You that I can be more

Another me
Free from hurting you
But I guess that's what I do
I'm stuck here in this complex
And I can't
Separate the side of me that's putting up the walls
I don't wanna lie so I just don't pick up the call
I wish I could let you know
Sometimes I don't let it show

I need better chemicals, I know
Cause nothing helps anymore, oh no
Need better chemicals to show
You that I can be more, oh oh

Break me down and cut me up
This can never be enough
Break me down and cut me up
My soul, my bones

Break me down and cut me up
This can never be enough
Break me down and cut me up
My curse, my hope

Break me down and cut me up
This can never be enough
Break me down and cut me up
My soul, my bones

Break me down and cut me up
This can never be enough
Break me down and cut me up
My curse, my hope

I need better chemicals, I know
Cause nothing helps anymore, oh no
Need better chemicals to show
You that I can be more, oh oh

I need better chemicals, I know
I need better chemicals, I know
I need better chemicals, I know
I need better chemicals

    I met these guys yesterday in my parking lot as they waited on car repairs to be done at the shop next door, they are all really good guys. Their music is amazing and they, as individuals are great. I highly recommend everyone check them out. If you guys are in Baton Rouge, La again, stop by Snap Fitness on Coursey blvd and I will hang ads up for you guys. A lot of people here have not heard of you, that needs to change. I will make sure everyone at my gym knows you.

  51. D.... F....

    just getting into this band..!!!

  52. J.... D....

    Too close to touch reminds me of them, cool!

  53. Y.... ....

    Anybody else catching the JMSN sample in the chorus? I wonder if they got it cleared. I would think so. Just crazy to hear. Kind of fits pretty well.

  54. L.... Q....

    Been a while since I've heard palisades but Goddamn! Great songs guys

  55. S.... K....

    idk, imo the vocals on this song are actually really good. The melody sounds similar to let down but hey, that's what bands do right?? usually write music around a theme, usually per album. and YES C++!!! programming FTW!

  56. R.... B....

    Oh shit this has got a matrix vibe to it

  57. H.... T....

    Why'd the black guy leave? His voice was amazing.

  58. M.... A....

    I love this band, but why does the singer have to be so extra?

  59. E.... M....

    IM here after the great House of wolves cover

  60. C.... H....

    I love this song

  61. J.... W....

    Tastes like pussy after a long day of work... Fucking Delicious!!!

  62. Q.... U....

    We want MIND GAMES back, guys.

  63. T.... ....

    This band satisfies me

  64. M.... N....

    Excellent!!

  65. M.... M....

    I wanna see you live!!! Hopefully I can soon. U guys r amazing

  66. V.... ....

    This song is a masterpiece. The more I listen to it, the more I realize how perfectly mixed/mastered it is. This is palisades best song in terms of musicianship and it's not even close.

  67. M.... A....

    AYe C++

  68. a.... ....

    Everything about this video is good except Lou’s whiny face

  69. E.... ....

    Thanks for killing another amazing band, Rise!

  70. B.... -....

    just discovered these guys and they are fucking amazing

  71. P.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of Linkin Park’s old style

  72. D.... S....

    This is amazing

  73. D.... B....

    Please come to australia

  74. V.... G....

    Why wasn't i aware they came back better than ever???! For a while i was afraid they were turning electronic and i am relieved

  75. x.... �....

    Tbh I clicked on this video because it has my name in it ''Lisa'' And Im glad I did ! <3 whaha love them instandly

  76. 1.... 3....

    im fucking in love with the part after 2:00

  77. C.... B....

    Never listened to these til now but how is this generic lmfao

  78. P.... G....

    Msc dlç da porra #br

  79. U.... U....

    what happened to the edgy, dont giva fuckness about palisades???? im not gonna call them generic. but this shit is just so not creative. mind games was fucking inventive, creative, fun, thought provoking, this is hardly any of that.

  80. B.... B....

    This is so well written! I could listen to nothing but this and thew new Your Favorite Franchise all fucking day.

  81. e.... ....

    I know that this won't make any sense but hearing this band now for first time reminded me of the first time I heard Orgy's song "Fiction" back in '99. Awesome feeling!

    Also finding a new band that you like so much feels like finding a new love :)

    e.... ....

    YES! Someone other than me listens to Orgy still! Also, this video reminds me a lot of the video for Fiction as well, with the whole futuristic-techno look and theme to it

  82. J.... Y....

    Why Matrix?

  83. M.... C....

    Reminds me of some hard times I had to get through this year

  84. S.... F....

    one of my favorite songs

    S.... F....

    even if this does sound generic. This album has really good songs so it doesnt really matter if it sounds like other bands. with so much music out these days and the type of bands that play. Its almost impossible to sound way different than anything else

    S.... F....

    Curious what band this sounds like to you?

    S.... F....

    um palisades lol

  85. H.... W....

    I love you. I'm in love with you. You guys are amazing.

  86. I.... ....

    wtf i never got a notfi for this! How did i just see this now! Either way, favorite track off the record

  87. G.... T....

    GREAT JOB, GUYS! PROUD OF YOU.

  88. A.... S....

    OMG OMG OMG I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS

  89. Z.... C....

    I am VERY new to Palisades, but I'm really liking this song and "Let Down". Can anyone recommend which albums they've made that sound like this? I know they used to have a really "poppy" sound that I just couldn't get into so I'm avoiding that lol

    Z.... C....

    Zack Cochran “whatever you want it to be” is an epic song 😎👍🏻

    Z.... C....

    Yeah, I also came here to recommend Whatever You Want It To Be. That and Player Haters Ball, Scarred, and Afraid are great jams.

  90. J.... H....

    "cut me down and break me up, this will never be enough". When Lou screams that part, i feel it in my soul

  91. B.... ....

    never really listened to Palisades but this song is fucking great.

  92. T.... R....

    How tf did i not see this

  93. D.... M....

    Who cares if they sound generic tht album is fucking amazing

  94. h.... ....

    I'm wondering why I didn't know about this amazing piece of art until now um

  95. M.... ....

    I've had this song on repeat for the past three days.

  96. C.... V....

    regardless of other opinions I love it especially the lyrics

  97. G.... K....
