Tiny twitches grip you in your chest
I'm a fever, can't you tell?
You body twitches when you hit the floor again
I'm a fever, can't you tell?
And I'll send you straight to hell
for everything you put me through
Here's to breaking off and starting new
You're shedding off your skin and coming clean
to everybody that you meet
while they're all on top of me
You're throwing yourself to the violent city streets
You sleep with everyone but me
to convince yourself you're free
I'm a promise you can't keep
and the burn inside your chest when you get home
I'm your fever, your fire
and I get a sense that you don't trust yourself
as you crush me under cover of the others
crushing under covers
Everyone forgets to breathe
thinking of the others underneath
Tiny twitches grip you in your chest
I'm a fever, can't you tell?
You body twitches when you hit the floor again
I'm a fever, can't you tell?
And I'll send you straight to hell
