Feverbreak

[Verse 1] Her hair ablaze with auburn strands Her eyes are glazed with worry Pale hands that reach from the water Cross-legged on the dock Moonshine upon the surface She's a body, not herself Not a lover but a service Took too long to see that she was just a bosom for his cheek Just a pillow for his head Just a scream amidst the reeds tangled 'round and 'round her legs But she prayed that he would see that though the love was strong enough She was drowning See here lay the problem Resting on the riverbed Smothered in sand and pyrite It's if her needs had died For he brushed them to the side As an old writer brushes paper from his desk But as you stare you see it's blank Two wrongs don't make a right Two hands stay intertwined These days turn into night with quick succession causing fright She can't control the time She can't escape the lime that tastes so goddamn bittersweet So she'll see him tonight [Chorus] I'm burning can you help me break the fever? Never needed anything more than your real love We're moving our hands and our bodies like we're liquid I'm burning can you help me break the fever? [Verse 2] These days are very vague There's nothing I can say You took my joy along with the TV Are you kidding me? I walk alone at dusk When the bitter cold can cut Through tension on the shoulders Let the smoke fill up my lungs I'm looking forward to the evening Yeah I'm trying very hard to seem complete But I really hope secretly that you can see me Oh can you see what you've done to me? [Chorus] I'm burning can you help me break the fever? Never needed anything more than your real love We're moving our hands and our bodies like we're liquid I'm burning can you help me break the fever? Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget [Post-Chorus] I should've told you You were a cold man You were unfeeling Unknowingly broken But I'll see you tonight yeah Yeah I'll see you tonight [Bridge] A woman is not a bed A love is not a home Her heart would've walked barefoot on hot coals That's why he's now alone He never touched her words He barely touched her bones Before you lay with a lucid writer Ask, "Are you bold?" [Chorus] I'm burning can you help me break the fever? Never needed anything more than your real love We're moving our hands and our bodies like we're liquid Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget [Post-Chorus] I should've told you You were a cold man You were unfeeling Unknowingly broken But I'll see you tonight yeah Yeah I'll see you tonight [Chorus] I'm burning can you help me break the fever? Never needed anything more than your real love We're moving our hands and our bodies like they're liquid Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget [Post-Chorus] I should've told you You were a cold man You were unfeeling Unknowingly broken But I'll see you tonight yeah Yeah I'll see you tonight
