Cheddar Man

Something tells me that the atmosphere has changed, I'm unsure
I'm unstable, I'm not sleeping, and I've triple-locked the door
But I saw a thing online and now I can rest assured
It's normal, what I'm going through is absolutely (normal)

Just relax, and step back, and good God, don't complain
What you're feeling is an imbalance of signals in the brain
And I read that there are benefits to MDMA
And that's normal, it says here, they spoke to an expert

Always so afraid, but you already know that
You're looking for an easy sign
But you keep going 'round thinking it's gonna change this time

Let's say the sea levels rise and we lose North Somerset
Which, by the way, is looking increasingly likely
But if I have to change a thing, things have got to change for me
You understand that, right?

The level's measured by a station called the Newlyn Tidal Observatory
Height zero, in other words, normal
So what if normal has to move or be swallowed by the sea?
Perhaps that's just what I should do so I can breathe easier, yeah

Always so afraid, but you already know that
You're looking for an easy sign (it's just looking down)
But you keep going 'round thinking it's gonna change this time

Your mother won't like what you've done with the place, but
No knot that can't be untied
You know that keeping it together isn't keeping it all inside

Cheddar Man returns home to find a lake in the gorge
And a marker reading "normal" on its gauge on the shore
I can feel myself collapsing into starting off again
A New Normal, another Newlyn, Newlyn normal

I think I want to turn around, the engine made a sound
And in the book, it says that safety comes first, slow down
So I think I'm gonna go crawl back into my cave
Kick back and scrawl a few pieces on the wall

Bright blue eyes, dark, a well-preserved skull
Photogenic, I think that's you, that's me, I think
I feel better, I feel better
We like to use words like "unprecedented," large scale words
Thank you, I feel better
