[Verse 1]
I was a child, unbruised, no pain
I was a child, flawless, no shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, let me go back to the start
Oh, let me try and make my mark
[Chorus]
When the sweetness seeps into your bloodstream
When the sweetness makes you love your life again
When the darkness creeps into your basement
When the darkness takes it all away again
[Verse 2]
Pill with a smile controls your brain
Think for a while, are you still sane?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, let me go back to the start
Oh, let me try and make my mark
[Chorus]
When the sweetness seeps into your bloodstream
When the sweetness makes you love your life again
When the darkness creeps into your basement
When the darkness takes it all away again
[Bridge]
(When the sweetness seeps into your bloodstream)
(When the sweetness makes you love your life again)
[Chorus]
When the sweetness seeps into your bloodstream
When the sweetness makes you love your life again
When the darkness creeps into your basement
When the darkness takes it all away again
[Outro]
(When the sweetness seeps into your bloodstream)
(When the sweetness makes you love your life again)
(When the sweetness seeps into your bloodstream)
(When the sweetness makes you love your life again)
(When the sweetness seeps into your bloodstream)
(When the sweetness makes you love your life again)
