PLEASE NOTE: My songs are never created with the intention of being 'thinspiration'. I am, and will always be, a pro-recovery advocate. With my music, I aim to reflect the hidden inner struggles of psychological disorders by externalising the internal. Please use caution if you feel you are easily provoked, and please always take care of yourself.
The fourth track on my Hollow EP is a remake of my 2018 single Sugar & Ice. When I was making Warrior, I loved working with Japanese taiko drums so much that I really wanted Sugar & Ice to have a similar sort of sound. For this newer version, I have stripped away all female references and included a male voiceover part over the instrumental, to try to bring more of a male voice to songs about anorexia.
A huge thank you to my friend David for providing the spoken poetry for this song!

Lyrics:
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Makes you become a smaller size.
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Falling for my anorexic lies.
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Makes you become a smaller size.
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Falling for my anorexic lies.
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Makes you become a smaller size.
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Falling for my anorexic lies.
“I’m so jealous,
You’re 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 fade into perfection,
And learn to love the pain,
‘Cause in my arms, your fragile life,
Has meaning once again.
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Makes you become a smaller size.
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Falling for my anorexic lies.
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 yours.
‘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 the 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.
Can’t handle this feeling,
It’s cold but it’s healing,
Oh sweet, frozen one,
So unhuman.
Can’t handle this feeling,
It’s cold but it’s healing,
Oh sweet, frozen one,
So unhuman.
[The voice,
It runs cold through my blood.
So sweet,
And yet, so cruel.
So vindictive.
It's not... not human.]
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Making you a smaller size.
[It sugar-coats the truth,
It pulls me under,
It's something other.]
Hungry to bed,
Hungry to rise,
Makes me want to go exercise.
[It cuts me open,
And leaves me hollow.]
Sweet as sugar and cold as ice.
Cold as ice.
‘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 the 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.
Sweet as sugar, cold as ice.
