Life's Black Ice Lyrics

The new year was cold and I lost a friend
Driving in his car he put a gun up to his head
While others have since been replaced
By my enemies with a familiar face

It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home
It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home

This place became a burden
A place I had outgrown
Time and distance made strangers
Out of everyone I know
More desperate than I'd like to admit
More weak than I see fit
More desperate than I would like to admit

It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home
It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home

Well I'll bury myself if no one wants to help
I'll bury myself
You lose one friend
You lose all friends
And you lose yourself

It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home
It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home

Whoever said you've got to get dead to get ahead
It felt better when I wasn't at home

The new year was cold and I lost a friend
Driving in his car he put a gun up to his head
While others have since been replaced
By my enemies with a familiar face

It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home
It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home

This place became a burden
A place I had outgrown
Time and distance made strangers
Out of everyone I know
More desperate than I'd like to admit
More weak than I see fit
More desperate than I would like to admit

It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home
It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home

Well I'll bury myself if no one wants to help
I'll bury myself
You lose one friend
You lose all friends
And you lose yourself

It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home
It felt better when I wasn't alone
It felt better when I wasn't at home

Whoever said you've got to get dead to get ahead
It felt better when I wasn't at home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"You lose one friend You lose all friends And you lose yourself"

I don't know if anyone else thinks this is weird, but I think this is from an episode of Boy Meets World. Where Eric becomes a wiseman named Plays with Squirrels or something.....anyone else notice it?
