Middle of the night, I hear myself scream I pray it was all a fever dream She’s standing in the corner, eyes staring at me Her face hidden in the shadows for me to never see Her glare burns through the pitch black of the room Everything around me is engulfed in heavy fume Shadows dancing on the wall Is it her or just the city’s lights? Toying with me in the dead of night I’m startled even by a phone call ‘You are what you did’ She said from the dark in which she hid Her voice pierces new holes in my heart The first rays of sun creeping in through the blinds Pull me far away from her into their warm embrace And finally there's nothing left of her but a blank space

Fever Dream
Middle of the night, I hear myself scream I pray it was all a fever dream She’s standing in the corner, eyes staring at me Her face hidden in the shadows for me to never see Her glare burns through the pitch black of the room Everything around me is engulfed in heavy fume Shadows dancing on the wall Is it her or just the city’s lights? Toying with me in the dead of night I’m startled even by a phone call ‘You are what you did’ She said from the dark in which she hid Her voice pierces new holes in my heart The first rays of sun creeping in through the blinds Pull me far away from her into their warm embrace And finally there's nothing left of her but a blank space
