Sugar & 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 that 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 (lbs) is my perfection,
Low sixty (lbs) 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,
For when you scream,
I will be the one to help you reach your dreams.
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.
