LA-based duo Honeywhip unveils their last single, “Like Ice”. A song about finding new reasons to live, and moving through pain and past trauma with the help of community and ritual. 


Lyrics 

We all get jealous different ways 
Feeling the path getting worn living our glory days 
Everything in it's different light
Just like a con man trying to prove you right 

It's all coming up roses
Did you notice those lies we told just melting away now?
It took a village to hold up all the brokenness 
I feel it just melting away now
Like ice

Get high and low on different planes
Stringing this life together paying with pocket change  
Ritual lost or broken down
Trying to get away with what heaven allows 
 
Hear it buzzing like a neon sign
No vacancy just burning bright
Hear it buzzing like a neon sign
No vacancy just burning brightly 

It's all coming up roses
Did you notice those lies we told just melting away now?
It took a village to hold up all the brokenness 
I feel it just melting away now
Like ice

Honeywhip - Like Ice

Avalanche

Lyrics:

Father hems for him, but hems her into mohair.
Reciting Threaded hymns made daddy such a Huckster.
Oh she’s feeling oh so lousy..
She looks so cute when she’s pouting.
Hang it! The boys are gawsy.
She’s forced to lie in tawdry.
Oh father...
Father’s forming figure eights.
(Look he’s forming figure eights.)
Securing seams of bitter hate.

She was the daughter of a haberdasher
At arm’s length, you know he never reached her
And every time the entry bells din
He pokes his finger with a sewing pin.

A doover, a doodad, a watchamacallit
Daughter dear, You know he’s got it.
But he doesn’t have you anymore
a lost scrap amidst the grandeur.
A motif, she wants to be more.
It’s time to close the store.
She flipped the sign and he locked the door.

So, Who receives the ballyhoo?
Breasts are double breasted suits.
“Lose the silly attitude.”
A noose, he is her button loop.

Father’s caress to a torso form
He never kept his daughter warm.

She was the daughter of a haberdasher
And ever since her leaving, he pokes his finger with a pin.

Daughter Of A Haberdasher
