A Yawn Worth Yelling - Fever lyrics

They said, "it takes a thousand years to make a single word." So I wasted no time in unlearning the one isolating application ^^of each-noun and verb They told me "we are creatures constantly starving to d**h Weeping to grow, growing to age Breathing which ripens Us with every breath. " Nothing lasts and nothing leaves us We pa** on as light dressed up as fire Life will last if it relieves us But I observe as a rock underwater, current churning around me And as it swims around me I can adapt quietly And the more I remain motionless The more I realize it's for the best And as the flow goes toward me I stand firm resolutely For I can glean no rest From swimming with the rest I'm the rattling chains of the change In my pocket, which lines my every inch, every bone And i have grown ten years in growing up for several months alone If you can somehow connect to me I am no longer unique And if anyone speaks through me I lose sight of what I seek I look in the mirror Jaw jutted, mouth bleating My hand holds my heart In hopes that it's beating We lose our sight to the 3am fever
