Lyrics
Verse 1
The craving cuts like whispered lies
A hollow ache beneath my eyes
Your ghost is sugar, sharp and bright
You burn my veins, you stole my nights
Pre-Chorus
The glow was fleeting
The rush deceiving
Now I'm left bleeding
My body’s screaming
Chorus
Sweetness fades, it's hollow, gone
The weight of silence lingers on
No more rush, no more disguise
Just empty sweetness in my mind
Verse 2
Your glittered charm, it owned my breath
Promised joy, but tasted death
Every moment, a poisoned kiss
Every high leads down to this
Pre-Chorus
The glow was fleeting
The rush deceiving
Now I'm left bleeding
My body’s screaming
Chorus

Editors →Sweetness fades, it's hollow, gone
The weight of silence lingers on
No more rush, no more disguise
Just empty sweetness in my mind
Bridge
(Spoken or whispered, over a dark instrumental build-up)
"I thought I needed you
I let you in
But you cracked my ribs
And filled them with dust
Now I'm breaking free—
From you, from me."
Instrumental Break
(A driving bassline with a staccato guitar riff, layered synths swelling, building tension.)
Final Chorus
Sweetness fades, it's hollow, gone
The weight of silence lingers on
No more rush, no more disguise
Just empty sweetness in my mind
Outro
(Softly, over sparse piano and reverb-drenched guitar)
Empty sweetness...
Empty sweetness...
It never was real

Five of seven On The Beach dates are already sold out ahead of Brighton show.
Their first full-length since Blanck Mass joined as a full-time member, the news comes alongside a brand new track, 'Karma Climb'.
There's also news of a new member, and a bit of a sonic reinvention.
Overall, the album feels like it’s missing something.
