Fever

Doesn't matter what we hoped The fever never broke Their anger burned with no evidence Into something uncontrolled Doesn't matter what we hoped The fever never broke We're strangled up in their selfishness With no slack left in the rope Expecting... I don't know, some defensiveness Yet all they did was gloat Let the record show: It didn't happen on its own (But if we) get a second go, we'll cut it in stone So we remember it always Doesn't matter what we hoped The fever never broke Spellbound in this illogical narrative That we could not decode Strung out on snake oil palliatives And resentments oversold Acting out a string of imperatives Dealt out by cheats and trolls Now let the record show: It didn't happen on its own (But if we) get a second go, we'll cut it in stone So we remember it always Doesn't matter what we hoped The fever never broke In the script, where there should be a signature Someone scratched out what we wrote Now we fortify the perimeter With topics we can't broach We won't admit how we're similar When you get us on our own We exist on more of a continuum The gap between us, overblown So are we gonna stop, look, or listen or just Treat each other like a joke? Now let the record show: It didn't happen on its own (But if we) get a second go, we'll cut it in stone So we can let the record show: It didn't happen on its own (But if we) get a second go, we'll cut it in stone So we remember it always So we remember it always
