Treacle 03:55
I know it seems like you’re wading through treacle Look at all of these people They don’t know how you feel They don’t know how you feel And vice versa I can’t be there but I’m thinking of you always Blue sky cold like bubblegum sorbet What ever happened to the universe parallel Where everything was all sweet, all caramel Now you’re spinning on the carousel, mad as hell Got me wandering what you’re gonna do like Annabel Picture you in the kitchen no sleep getting Despair crouching in the corner like a blunt weapon This is the hardest time The dark before the dawn in a Tardis mind, but Rest assured in you’re heart’s design There’s a method to the madness every part’s divine Watch We’ve been here before I think it’s time to leave The past could never poison everything you’ve done All of this will fade into obscurity Only looking back to see how far we’ve come [CHORUS] Don’t look back on this With regret I know it’s Something that you’ll have to Get your head around to Don’t look back on this With regret I know it’s Something that you’ll have to Get your head around I know it seems like you’ll burst at the seams Like the worst of your dreams picked you first for the team And you’re only seeing half of the scene Like all the action’s happening off screen Know what I mean? We spill guts and leave the viscera glistening I don’t always know what to say but I’ll be listening This’ll stay for a while but in the end I see an end to the struggle Wild flowers in the rubble Always remember, time the great healer The great fate sealer for demons that seem realer In the night time but when the day breaks We see ‘em off like they don’t exist Flick of the wrist When you lost that you still had this And it’s amazing through all the madness We’re finding new levels of love up in the sadness We’re finding new levels of love up in the sadness Yeah We’ve been here before I think it’s time to leave The past could never poison everything you’ve done All of this will fade into obscurity Only looking back to see how far we’ve come [CHORUS] It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright (repeat)

If you read the news today You could be forgiven For thinking there’s no hope For all of the human kind If this cynicism And that superstition Became your position Maybe it’s not that much of a surprise All the media drama Keeps rolling It’s like wearing a balaclava With no holes in And all the lines they feed us When they bang on their little drums Is making it feel like Feel like no-one likes anyone [CHORUS] Are we people people? Are we people people? Are we people people? I don’t really know if we’re people people x2 It’s harder to find your way When you’re deep in the shadows And most of what’s illuminated Is the worst of the human kind If all that suspicion Is clouding your vision With no opposition Maybe it takes a hold inside your mind While the media drama Keeps rolling It’s like wearing a balaclava With no holes in And all the lines they feed us Contain the danger That we could get lost We could get lost in this echo chamber [CHORUS] You dug me out of this hole you dug me out of this You dug me out of this hole you dug me out of this Yeah it took so long It took so long We can be people people I can see people people I bet you know people people Everyone people people x3

Should I try and be someone else today? No-one likes the sad face clown Dig out a smile and put it on display I don’t wanna bring you down Feeling like a kid in a dad suit Arrested development You been taking aim but you won’t shoot Am I just your white elephant? Putting on a front what a way to start yeah But I never want you to know I’m sort of falling apart because I’m the type of human Who wants you to like me Yeah, I’m the type of human Who wants you to think that I’m okay I would love to be one of those people Who couldn’t give two shits about What everybody else is thinking But that could only be a pipe dream for me Cos I only feel a bit like that when I’m drinking Stuck like a wasp in a coke can Agony and ecstasy But I can still find my hope, man If you’re standing next to me Putting on a front but I’m losing heart yeah Still I never want you to know I’m sort of falling apart because I’m the type of human Who wants you to like me Yeah, I’m the type of human Who wants you to think that I’m okay I get up, to get down I get in, I get out I get high, I get low Run my mouth Make a scene Waking up to a dream Nothing is as it seems Is it you, is it me? I don’t know, I can’t see Telling lies like the truth In my eyes is the proof I keep losing my youth I’m a flea, I’m a fool I’m the man, I’m the boss I get lost I get lost I get lost I get lost I get lost I get lost I’m the type of human Who wants you to like me Yeah, I’m the type of human Who wants you to think that I’m okay I miss that man I tell you Tear it off I get lost in my memories Still the talk Is constantly haranguing me I run my mouth make a scene They’re watching Is it you is it me? I don’t know who to be

I’ve been here on my Jack Jones Steady waiting by the bat phone Or getting lost in the red tones Another world in my headphones I keep thinking of the old you And everything I could have told you It never seemed to be the right time Now it’s forgotten like a cold brew And I’m getting worried about you Cos I can’t tell if you’re telling me The whole truth about Everything that’s going on with you Anyway Call me up If you’re feeling low I not going nowhere You got trouble to share Call me up Give me a piece of your mind I’m never going nowhere I’ve got nothing but time So many people tryna kill time I can’t believe it’s not dead yet Are you filling in a crossword? Or are you whittling a chess set? How you dealing with the distance? Are you hiding from your neighbours? Only another ghost in a ghost town 28 Days later And I’m getting worried about you Cos I can’t tell if you’re telling me The whole truth about Everything that’s going on with you Anyway Call me up If you’re feeling low I not going nowhere You got trouble to share Call me up Give me a piece of your mind I’m never going nowhere I’ve got nothing but time I only wanna see you smile like you used to I only wanna see you smile like you used to I only wanna see you smile like you used to I only wanna see you smile like you used to
