My Fever

The medicine hasn’t worked,
I can feel it pumping through my veins,
But it just hurts,


I sat behind the drum set,
Lying in my own bed,
Trying to play your heartbeat so I can feel you,


Lying next to me,
In living ecstasy,
My heart pouring on the floor,


And I will wait,
A thousand lifetimes
If that is all it takes,
To be right there,


Next, to you,
Next, to you,
Next, to you,
Next, to you,


My skin is starting to scratch,
My nails break the skin,
Letting the blood flow,
From my veins,


Staining the white walls,
Spurt after f*cking spurt,
It just hurts,


And I will wait,
A thousand lifetimes
If that is all it takes,
To be right there,
