Razor Thin from Paralysed by Nathan Wall-Jones
Carrying on from the dreamy aspirations from Static, I wanted to create a song that retained that ambient vocals and piano, but came across like the gloss of a shiny happy factory. One which in turn perpetuates this image that everyone must strive towards that ultimately sacrifices elements that makes them authentically unique and human. Also, I sincerely hope that people get what I was doing by to inhaling in the middle when I was singing ‘breathe’ and not just singing that part badly.

Lyrics
Razor thin,
down the bin,
scrape the void,
scratch away,
my humanity,
today,
always,
always.
Racing towards,
the image,
that keeps moving away.
Exhausting myself,
All so I can just breathe.
Today,
Always,
I’ll grow,
Out of my own despite,
To reach those dizzying heights.
And with each day forward I grow colder,
Just so when I go out I’m bolder,
And with each day I grow older,
Struggling towards that distant dream,
That I see,
Before me,
Lost at sea.
