Feverbreak

[00:00.18] Her hair ablaze with auburn strands
[00:01.92] Her eyes are glazed with worry
[00:03.42] Pale hands that reach from the water
[00:05.04] Cross-legged on the dock
[00:06.78] Moonshine upon the surface
[00:08.63] She's a body, not herself
[00:10.20] Not a lover but a service
[00:12.02] Took too long to see that she was just a bosom for his cheek
[00:16.43] Just a pillow for his head
[00:18.08] Just a scream amidst the reeds tangled 'round and 'round her legs
[00:21.47] But she prayed that he would see
[00:23.15] that though the love was strong enough
[00:24.79] She was drowning
[00:25.93] See here lay the problem
[00:27.57] Resting on the riverbed
[00:29.26] Smothered in sand and pyrite
[00:30.95] It's if her needs had died
[00:32.83] For he brushed them to the side
[00:34.35] As an old writer brushes paper from his desk
[00:36.64] But as you stare you see it's blank
[00:38.41] Two wrongs don't make a right
[00:40.86] Two hands stay intertwined
[00:42.37] These days turn into night with quick succession causing fright
[00:45.81] She can't control the time
[00:47.68] She can't escape the lime that tastes so goddamn bittersweet
[00:51.05] So she'll see him tonight
[00:54.11] I'm burning can you help me break the fever?
[00:58.63]
[01:02.53] Never needed anything more than your real love
[01:09.31] We're moving our hands and our bodies like we're liquid
[01:15.77] I'm burning can you help me break the fever?
[01:20.38]
[01:23.69] These days are very vague
[01:25.09] There's nothing I can say
[01:26.69] You took my joy along with the TV
[01:28.62] Are you kidding me?
[01:29.83] I walk alone at dusk
[01:31.18] When the bitter cold can cut
[01:32.75] Through tension on the shoulders
[01:34.54] Let the smoke fill up my lungs
[01:36.20] I'm looking forward to the evening
[01:40.09] Yeah I'm trying very hard to seem complete
[01:43.22] But I really hope secretly that you can see me
[01:46.68] Oh can you see what you've done to me?
[01:50.35] I'm burning can you help me break the fever?
[01:54.99]
[01:58.92] Never needed anything more than your real love
[02:05.41] We're moving our hands and our bodies like we're liquid
[02:12.32] I'm burning can you help me break the fever?
[02:16.49] Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget
[02:19.47] I should've told you
[02:21.55] You were a cold man
[02:22.74] You were unfeeling
[02:24.31] Unknowingly broken
[02:25.95] But I'll see you tonight yeah
[02:29.20] Yeah I'll see you tonight
[02:33.36]
[02:46.98] A woman is not a bed
[02:48.16] A love is not a home
[02:50.08] Her heart would've walked barefoot on hot coals
[02:52.54] That's why he's now alone
[02:53.88] He never touched her words
[02:55.22] He barely touched her bones
[02:56.95] Before you lay with a lucid writer
[02:59.06] Ask, "Are you bold?"
[03:00.31] I'm burning can you help me break the fever?
[03:04.95] Never needed anything more than your real love
[03:06.85] We're moving our hands and our bodies like we're liquid
[03:11.13] Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget
[03:14.58] I should've told you
[03:15.74] You were a cold man
[03:17.49] You were unfeeling
[03:19.12] Unknowingly broken
[03:20.74] But I'll see you tonight yeah
[03:24.08] Yeah I'll see you tonight
[03:28.45] I'm burning can you help me break the fever?
[03:31.53] Never needed anything more than your real love
[03:34.53] We're moving our hands and our bodies like they're liquid
[03:38.18] Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget
[03:41.45] I should've told you
[03:43.35] You were a cold man
[03:44.97] You were unfeeling
[03:46.52] Unknowingly broken
[03:48.21] But I'll see you tonight yeah
[03:51.41] Yeah I'll see you tonight
[03:53.57]
