Paroles de Fever Dream

Sometimes, when one person is absent The whole world seems depopulated Come back, even as a shadow, even as a dream Falling upwards through the sky You cut through clouds before my eyes Is it peaceful in the afterlife? Or are you like me buried in the tide? You no longer breathe So I'm living in a fever dream I'm losing sleep While you're buried in the tide I need your help When the silence is deafening If it's your time, then tell me why It hurts to be alive Your brother called, could hardly speak He said: I'm strong, but I'm on my knees Is it peaceful in the afterlife? Or do you wish to slowly turn back time? You no longer breathe So I'm living in a fever dream I'm losing sleep While you're buried in the tide I need your help When the silence is deafening If it's your time, then tell me why It hurts to be alive Your coffee scent and cigarettes Are fragments I will not forget I'm drifting down the interstate But these strangers don't know your name You no longer breathe So I'm living in a fever dream I'm losing sleep While you're buried in the tide I need your help When the silence is deafening If it's your time then tell me why It hurts to be alive
