Fever Dreams

I'm breathing the infection
 Seeking out the storm overhead
 Weeding out the senseless
 Getting closer, always closer
 I watched them all set the fire
 You're on your own
 In a fever dream, a shadow you follow
 You're always preaching to the worst of us all
 You're always preaching at our backs
 We're swinging for the fences
 Crossing his name off of the list
 Feeding into tension
 Getting closer, always closer
 Raise the flag
 Witness how they kneel
 I will claim
 Every last piece of regret
 Raise the flag
 Witness how they kneel
 I will claim
 Every last piece of regret
 I watched them all set the fire
 You're on your own
 In a fever dream, a shadow you follow
 You're always preaching to the worst of us all
 You're always preaching at our backs
 I'll beg right when the floor bottoms out
 We still race to just take it
 When the ink starts to fade
 Start it all over
 When the ink starts to fade
 We're going backwards
 Following what is false
 Spreading across what's ours
 It's ours
 Filling the desperate hearts
 I'm getting closer
