River of Fever

Swept down a river of fever
I'm caught in the coldest current
Real goes to false in the space of a breath
Fever turns to ice in a river as cold as life
Lost my dearest ones to the end of the world
My family's in the swamp where you can't see daylight
Night time in the daytime is walking in your sleep
The air is so still an axe is going to fall
My hands are folded across my chest
My hands are folded and I'm at rest

Fear subdued by thought was no fear at all
And strength is left undone
Deep down you're bold and clever
Till those fingers close around your heart
You lost direction where were you going?
Sleep's a dirty curtain sucking up to erase
It's a dirty trick that pries open your fists
And with cloudy eyes puts razors to your wrists
Smashesyour hammer till you can only stammer
Weak baby down on your bended knee

Swept down a river of fever
Caught in the coldest current
Real goes to false in the space of a breath
Fever turns to ice in a river as cold as life
I lost my dearest ones to the end of the world
My family's in the swamp where you can't see daylight
Night time in the daytime is walking in your sleep
The air is so still an axe is going to fall
My hands are folded across my chest
My hands are folded and I'm at rest
