Fever Dreams

[Verse 1] Summer heat melts through these walls Mom's distant stare down empty halls Fan keeps spinning, going nowhere White noise drowns out her silent prayer [Chorus] Waves of static in my head Things she never would have said Watch the mercury rise and fall Like her tears behind these walls Like her tears behind these walls [Verse 2] Kitchen hums an anxious tune Kettle's screaming at the moon Pills scattered on the windowsill Manchester's burning, time stands still Her love's distorted, stretched too thin Like tape that's warped in summer's sin [Bridge] Frequencies of pain Washing machine's refrain Everything's decaying While the city's swaying In this fucking heat In this fucking heat [Chorus] Waves of static in my head Things she never would have said Watch the mercury rise and fall Like her tears behind these walls Like her tears behind these walls [Outro] White noise lullaby Watch the circuits fry Mother's distant eyes Fade into the sky While the city melts While our system fails While the city melts While our system fails (Fading out...)
