Raven Echo - Frozen Veins Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Frozen pipes and empty bottles
Mom's crying in the kitchen again
Space heater's humming death songs
While the landlord counts his f*cking yen
Climbing rusty towers just to feel alive
Trading cigarettes for another night to survive

[Chorus]
Cold hands, dead dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Selling warmth like contraband
In this frozen wasteland
We're all just rats in the machine
Fighting just to f*cking breathe

[Verse 2]
Derek's got the black market burning
Two quid for an hour of heat
Sean's shooting up in the corner
Says it helps him feel his feet
Steel mills echo with ghosts of yesterday
While we're scraping by another goddamn day

[Bridge]
Remember when we used to dream?
Before survival killed everything
Now we're just trading pieces of our souls
For a moment's warmth in this f*cking hole

[Chorus]
Cold hands, dead dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Selling warmth like contraband
In this frozen wasteland
We're all just rats in the machine
Fighting just to f*cking breathe

[Verse 3]
Mother's blankets can't stop the shaking
Council flat's a tomb of ice
Found warmth in needle promises
Paid for it with paradise
Sheffield winter's got me by the throat
While the rich bastards float their f*cking boat

[Outro]
In this game of survival
We're all just f*cking pawns
Trading heat for humanity
Till everything's gone
Cold hands, dead dreams
Till there's nothing left to redeem
Nothing left to redeem
Nothing left to redeem
