Chemical Fire in the Brain

Daniel Piché

“create a song in the style of the ''Dookie'' album from Green Day with the following lyrics: (Verse 1)I’m biting my nails until they start to bleedMy attention span is a tumbleweedYou’re chewing your gum and you’re looking at meLike a walking, talking anomalyMy adrenaline is pumping at a toxic speed(Verse 2)My room is a landfill of pizza boxes and clothesAnd my temperature is rising from my head to my toesYour parents are out until Saturday nightWe’re locking the doors and we're turning off the lightBefore my nervous system completely implodes(Chorus)’Cause I’m a neurotic mess and you’re just as insaneWe got a chemical fire burning up in the brainForget about the rehab, forget about the schoolWe’re locked in the bedroom acting like foolsYeah, I’m losing my mind and I’m loving the pain!(Verse 3)You’re wearing a t-shirt with a giant stainWe're trying to be sexy but it’s totally in vainI tripped on a shoe and I hit the floorYou laughed so hard that you choked on a S'moreWe're the clumsiest lovers on the commuter train(Verse 4)My heart is a ticking time bomb in my chestAnd my hormones are failing a sobriety testYou’re pulling my hair, I’m ripping your jeansLike a trashy B-movie from the nineties screensWe’re a beautiful, hyperactive, chaotic nest(Chorus)’Cause I’m a neurotic mess and you’re just as insaneWe got a chemical fire burning up in the brainForget about the rehab, forget about the schoolWe’re locked in the bedroom acting like foolsYeah, I’m losing my mind and I’m loving the pain!(Bridge - Tré Cool drum roll, fast-paced and frantic)No time for logic, no time to think!We’re standing right on the edge of the brink!The world is boring, the world is a dragBut we’re suffocating in a love-sick bagLet’s self-destruct together in a blink!(Guitar Solo - Fast, sloppy-but-catchy, heavy distortion, chromatic walk-downs)(Verse 5)Now the bed frame is broken and the lamp is deadWe got static shock halos sitting on our headsSweaty and stupid and completely spentAn absolute disaster of a main eventBut I’d do it all over again, like I said!(Chorus)’Cause I’m a neurotic mess and you’re just as insaneWe got a chemical fire burning up in the brainForget about the rehab, forget about the schoolWe’re locked in the bedroom acting like foolsYeah, I’m losing my mind and I’m loving the pain!”

[Verse 1]
I'm biting my nails until they start to bleed  
My attention span is a tumbleweed  
You're chewing your gum and you're looking at me  
Like a walking, talking anomaly
