|
Try and forget it and yet it keeps you awake
|
Live to regret it when the fever breaks
|
Lighting up a cigarette even the slow hand shakes
|
But it's a cold sweat when the fever breaks
|
|
If there is no light, if there's no end in sight
|
Well then this just might not be a tunnel
|
If it were up to me, I would not make that mistake
|
But histories repeat and then the fever breaks
|
|
I know what it's like to feel fear
|
There has been so much confusion
|
The point is never clear, but I will make it without illusion
|
Call it an intrusion, if you will, if that's what it takes
|
But it's the Sound of Mind as the fever breaks
|
|
It's all parlor talk at the dead man's wake
|
Bring out the winding sheets as the fever breaks
|
|
A slow and painful death ends faster than the eye can see
|
Taking your last breath feels like Eternity
|
Catching a cool breeze across a late summer lake
|
Feel the chill of autumn as the fever breaks
|
