Im ill with a fever, I feel like a child

I lay in the dark til morning came.

Its so unoriginal

And I feel it worse at night

I know its not terminal

But Im near half-dead fright

And freezing cold.



But sooner than woke up

To find it all unchanged

Ill sleep through the day til the daylight ends.

Cos its all so familiar

As it comes around again

The same taste to everything

The same unbroken chain

That still remains.



With morning I rise,

A dream that wont leave me,

Youre sad, naked and pale



And youre reaching for the rail



You took a look inside, how could you peel away

Or break the shell, the hurt youve hidden so well

For all your days.



And youre going down

As you slip beneath the waves,

Wont make a sound

Wont even leave a trace before you.



I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below

And its creeping fear congealed in stone

That paves the crazy road.

And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly

At the heartbreak, its easy to deal with,

Just take these and youll really never feel it.
