Fever Dream

[Verse 1]

Your shadow slips beneath my skin
Like poison dressed in velvet sin
Every time I swear I’m leaving
You pull me back without a reason

Late nights always taste like you
A blurred-out red I fall into
I know I shouldn’t let you near me
But your silence always seems to hear me

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

I try to run — my legs won’t move
I’m staring straight into the truth
You’re the fire burning clean
You’re the heart inside the dream

⸻

[Chorus]

It’s a fever dream
And I keep falling deeper
Even when it hurts, I crave the heat
No, I can’t get cleaner

I know it’s bad for me
But I’m drawn in anyway
You pull me under, soft and sweet
Til I forget my name

It’s a fever… (fever dream)

⸻

[Verse 2]

Your voice drips slow behind my eyes
A haunting wrapped in lullabies
Every warning glows like embers
But my body only remembers

You blur the line of want and fear
A phantom whisper in my ear
And even when you blur and fade
I’m reaching for the mess we made

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

I try to run — but you’re the ache
A holy sin I had to take
You’re the pulse beneath my skin
You’re the storm I’m drowning in

⸻

[Chorus]

It’s a fever dream
And I keep falling deeper
Even when it hurts, I crave the heat
No, I can’t get cleaner

I know it’s bad for me
But I’m drawn in anyway
You pull me under, soft and sweet
Til I forget my name

It’s a fever… (fever dream)

⸻

[Bridge] (whisper-style optional)

Pull me through the static
Blur the lines of real and fake
I’m drifting in your gravity
Too deep now to escape

Your touch bends the daylight
Your voice turns shadows red
Every time I try to wake up
You pull me back instead

⸻

[Final Chorus]

It’s a fever dream
And I keep falling deeper
Even when it hurts, I crave the heat
No, I can’t get cleaner

I know it’s bad for me
But I’m drawn in anyway
You pull me under, soft and sweet
Til I fade away

It’s a fever…
Fever dream…
