Feverbreak - Basenji Remix

Her hair ablaze with auburn strands
Her eyes are glazed with worry
Pale hands that reach from the water
Cross-legged on the dock
Moonshine upon the surface
Shes a body, not herself
Not a lover but a service
Took too long to see that she was just a bosom for his cheek
Just a pillow for his head
Just a scream amidst the reeds tangled round and round her legs
But she prayed that he would see
That though the love was strong enough
She was drowning
See here lay the problem
Resting on the riverbed
Smothered in sand and pyrite
Its if her needs had died
For he brushed them to the side
As an old writer brushes paper from his desk
But as you stare you see its blank
Two wrongs dont make a right
Two hands stay intertwined
These days turn into night with quick succession causing fright
She cant control the time
She cant escape the lime that tastes so goddamn bittersweet
So shell see him tonight
Im burning can you help me break the fever?
Never needed anything more than your real love
Were moving our hands and our bodies like were liquid
Im burning can you help me break the fever?
These days are very vague
Theres nothing I can say
You took my joy along with the TV
Are you kidding me?
I walk alone at dusk
When the bitter cold can cut
Through tension on the shoulders
Let the smoke fill up my lungs
Im looking forward to the evening
Yeah Im trying very hard to seem complete
But Ireally hope secretly that you can see me
Oh can you see what youve done to me?
Im burning can you help me break the fever?
Never needed anything more than your real love
Were moving our hands and our bodies like were liquid
Im burning can you help me break the fever?
Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget
I shouldve told you
You were a cold man
You were unfeeling
Unknowingly broken
But Ill see you tonight yeah
Yeah Ill see you tonight
A woman is not a bed
A love is not a home
Her heart wouldve walked barefoot on hot coals
Thats why hes now alone
He never touched her words
He barely touched her bones
Before you lay with a lucid writer
Ask, 'Are you bold? '
Im burning can you help me break the fever?
Never needed anything more than your real love
Were moving our hands and our bodies like were liquid
Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget
I shouldve told you
You were a cold man
You were unfeeling
Unknowingly broken
But Ill see you tonight yeah
Yeah Ill see you tonight
Im burning can you help me break the fever?
Never needed anything more than your real love
Were moving our hands and our bodies like theyre liquid
Pour another drink, maybe seven, just to forget
I shouldve told you
You were a cold man
You were unfeeling
Unknowingly broken
But Ill see you tonight yeah
Yeah Ill see you tonight
