In a show from his “Open Book” solo acoustic tour, frontman Justin Furstenfeld describes writing this song instead of going to a “shrink” while trying to deal with his depression and hallucinations.
(start at 6:48)
[Verse 1]
A silver-plated numbing gum
And Jesus resting on my thumb
A hard to reach Malaria
I've got the mood that seems to scare ya
And I'm paranoid, self-destroyed
Believe me, Lord, I'm sorry
I've got the mood that seems to bury ya
I've got the nightmare called Schizophrenia
[Chorus]
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
Becomes my home
[Verse 2]
I love it when you're holding me
You have a gentle way of calming
I haven't felt that way since 1993
When my mother held me
I bet you're waiting for a long sob story
Of how I was mistreated again
No, I wasn't built that way
I was strong but desperately brave
And I didn't mean to scare ya, Schizophrenia
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
The fever becomes my home
Becomes my home
Becomes my home
Becomes my home
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
I cry, I cry, and I don't know why
It becomes my home
It becomes my home
It becomes my home
The fever becomes my home
Becomes my home
My home
My home
My home
