Lyrics
"In a Fever Dream" lyrics [Click here]
Hurt me repeatedly
Desert me but you never leave
Can't see beyond the haze
Tell me it'll be okay
Show me, what have you become?
Know me like i am no one
You kill the fire to watch me freeze
And hold me in a fever dream
I followed you so recklessly
Too blind to see what was happening
You held me down so senselessly
And pulled me into a fever dream
In a fever dream
I'm holding on
I don't belong
Falling into delta sleep
Your authority disembodies me
Pulls me from end to end
I see only darkness
In your light, my friend
I followed you so recklessly
Too blind to see what was happening
You held me down so senselessly
I don't belong in this fever dream
In a fever dream
Dancing with my shadow
A burning inside of me
Stuck in a fever dream
I chase the golden hour
You bring me to my knees
Stuck in a fever dream
Breathing through old skin
Bleeding at the seams
I can't feel a thing
In a fever
I can't even breathe
In a fever dream
I can't feel a thing
In a fever dream
Bleeding at the seams
In a fever dream
Breathing through old skin
Bleeding at the seams
Stuck in a fever dream
I can never leave
Dancing with my shadow
The line is fading from my horizon
I chase the golden hour
Can you hear me scream through the silence?
Dancing with my shadow
A burning inside of me
Stuck in a fever dream
I chase the golden hour
You bring me to my knees
Stuck in a fever dream
Breathing through old skin
Bleeding at the seams
Stuck in a fever dream
I can never leave
