The Alchemist - Philmont

The problem is the alchemy

It just might be the death of me

Cause I know that I’m stuck but I’m not giving up that easy

I know there’s got to be a way to mix these things

and somehow make The perfect recipe

There simply has to be

For years I’ve been a scientist respected and esteemed

This lab became my home

These formulas are my family

When I’m sought out to find a cause it simply means one thing

Failure’s not allowed

The truth will be revealed to me

I’ve found the answer

It’s not what I was searching for, no

It seems science can’t explain

In full detail everything to me

My work has been in vain

There’s no way to replicate these things

The evidence is on my desk and strewn about my lab

But there’s no cause to this effect something everything should have

Now I retreat accept defeat

Admit that I’m a fool

For ever trying to explain the unexplainable

I’ve found the answer

It’s not what I was searching for, no

It seems science can’t explain

In full detail everything to me

My work has been in vain

There’s no way to replicate these things

What am I supposed to say

Shall I tell them all to live by faith

And stand there as they laugh right in my face

There’s no system, there’s no method here

And that’s not the way we operate

It seems science can’t explain

In full detail everything to me

My work has been in vain

There’s no way to replicate these things

It seems science can’t explain
