TITLE. LYRICS

Concert version

Ice age

I've seen the real atrocities buried in the sand
Stockpiled safety for a few while we stand holding hands

I'm living in the ice age
Nothing will hold
Nothing will fit
Into the cold
It's not an eclipse
Living in the ice age

I'm living in the ice age
Nothing will hold
Nothing will fit
Into the cold
No smile on your lips
Living in the ice age
