Fever Breaks lyrics

Try and forget it yet it keeps you awake Live to regret it when the fever breaks Lighting up a cigarette even the slow hand shakes But it's a cold sweat when the fever breaks If there is no light, if there is no end in sight Then this just might not be a tunnel If it were up to me, I wouldn't make that mistake But history repeats and then the fever breaks I know what it's like to feel fear There's been so much confusion The point is never clear but make it without illusion Call it an intrusion if you will, if that's what it takes It's the sound of mind when the fever breaks It's all parlour talk at the dead man's wake Bring out the winding sheets when the fever breaks A slow and painful death ends faster than the eye can see Taking your last breath feels like eternity Catching a cool breeze across a late summer lake Feel the chill of autumn as the fever breaks
