lyrics
I want you to show me how I'm supposed to be fine
With the hand I've been dealt in this life
I'm crushingly sad and alone in my days
But I never feel love and I never feel pain
Cause my teeth grow loose
My hairs falling out
I'm never thin
My skin's so cracked and sore
My lungs ache
My bones are weak
And I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
So I live in a dream
When I'm awake or asleep
So I build a world
A complex array
A maze of maps
Of lovers and contacts
I live alone
But there's others like me
In desperate states
Where we'll all be alive
And we'll all be well
We look how we wish
We do what we want
And desperate states don't mean anything anymore to me
With the hand I've been dealt in this life
I'm crushingly sad and alone in my days
But I never feel love and I never feel pain
Cause my teeth grow loose
My hairs falling out
I'm never thin
My skin's so cracked and sore
My lungs ache
My bones are weak
And I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
So I live in a dream
When I'm awake or asleep
So I build a world
A complex array
A maze of maps
Of lovers and contacts
I live alone
But there's others like me
In desperate states
Where we'll all be alive
And we'll all be well
We look how we wish
We do what we want
And desperate states don't mean anything anymore to me

Claw The Thin Ice recommends:

Seven Christmas Songs
by Nick HudsonA Christmas record by our good friends The Academy Of Sun from Brighton. Extremely heady and vibey, their new album "The Quiet Earth" is out in 2020 and is absolutely killer.

Pre Drinks (...with Tom John Hall)
by Tom John Hall'Axis Of Distraction' is the sound of the summer. Sip it up.

Curse These Metal Hands
by Conjurer and Pijn"Alexa, play something magnificent". Joe who recorded Colour Phase also played a key role in writing/playing/recording this. Think Baroness playing early Grails riffs with the occasional blastbeat.
