[00:43.091]I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child
[00:53.000]I lay in the dark till morning came.
[01:01.078]It's so unoriginal
[01:06.088]And I feel it worse at night
[01:12.005]I know it's not terminal
[01:16.094]But I'm near half-dead fright
[01:21.081]And freezing cold.
[01:28.038]
[01:29.018]But sooner than woke up
[01:32.006]To find it all unchanged
[01:37.731]I'll sleep through the day til the daylight ends.
[01:45.082]
[01:47.034]'Cause it's all so familiar
[01:52.014]As it comes around again
[01:56.077]The same taste to everything
[02:02.000]The same unbroken chain
[02:06.097]That still remains.
[02:11.826]
[02:34.038]With morning I rise,
[02:37.042]A dream that won't leave me,
[02:42.083]You're sad, naked and pale
[02:47.000]And you're reaching for the rail
[02:54.056]
[02:59.021]You took a look inside, how could you peel away
[03:07.241]Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well
[03:13.092]For all your days.
[03:17.011]And you're going down
[03:22.021]As you slip beneath the waves,
[03:27.032]Won't make a sound
[03:32.014]Won't even leave a trace before you.
[03:42.028]
[04:14.040]I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below
[04:22.036]And it's creeping fear congealed in stone
[04:27.087]That paves the crazy road.
[04:32.091]And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly
[04:42.024]At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with,
[04:47.098]Just take these and you'll really never feel it.
[05:00.067]
