Sugar And Ice

Cause I'm sweet as sugar
But I'm cold as ice

I'm so jealous
She’s so thin
That’s what everyone will say
Whenever you walk in
In your mind, you’re careless
Always giving in
You never knew you wanted to
Embrace your darkest sins

My name is anorexia
We’ve met before
I'm the voice that whispers deep inside
That’s saying you want more
So won’t you fade into perfection
And learn to love the pain
‘Cause in my arms your fragile life
Has meaning once again

The chance to change the numbers
On the scale is so alluring
These voices in your head
Are so alive, and so assuring
I need to lose the weight
And get right back to where I was
High eighty is my perfection
Low sixty is hers

‘Cause I'm sweet as sugar
But I'm cold as ice
I'm the darkness in your eyes
I'm the shadow to the light
Keep your enemies close
And they’ll keep you strong
With me inside your mind
You can never go wrong
I'm that shiver in your spine
As the needle drops down
I'm the back to your bone
I'm your lost and found
Well, don’t you worry my darling
For when you scream
I will be the one
To help you reach your dreams

Tell your friends that you’re doing homework
And go for a run
Tell your family you’ve already eaten
The wiser they’ll be none
‘Cause starving isn’t easy
And it sure as hell ain’t fun
It’s a long, dark road ahead
And we’ve only just begun

Can’t you see? All these people
They don’t care for you
I would never lie to spare your feelings
Like they do
Do right by me
And I’ll be sugar sweet to you
But cross me and my colder side
Just might show through

‘Cause I'm sweet as sugar
But I'm cold as ice
I'm the darkness in your eyes
I'm the shadow to the light
Keep your enemies close
And they’ll keep you strong
With me inside your mind
You can never go wrong
I'm that shiver in your spine
As the needle drops down
I'm the back to your bone
I'm your lost and found
Well, don’t you worry my darling

Hungry to bed, hungry to rise
Makes a girl a smaller size
Hungry to bed, hungry to rise
Falling for my anorexic lies
Hungry to bed, hungry to rise
Makes me wanna go exercise
Hungry to bed, hungry to rise
Sweet as sugar and cold as ice
