Fever And Denial

Got a pulse like a whisper code
You trace the edge but you never load
No alarm, no warning sound
Just shifting floors and hollow ground

You sip the truth from another glass
Fake it all, let the moment pass
Your tongue's a blade that you learned to fold
In a way your secrets feeling dry and cold

You're in the
Fever and denial
And you have no fear
Fever and denial
And you do not cry

You count the cards but you miss the deal
Smile like you forgot even how you feel
You light a match and then hide your hands
You act surprised because nothing stands

You swear you're free, and then you check the locks
Trade your rage for clever talk
You bought the map and then you burned the line
You ride the spiral and you call it fine

You're in the
Fever and denial
And you have no fear
Fever and denial
And you do not cry
