Fever


Sitting in the corner of a dark room
I feel the silence killing me,
I want to run...
But my numb fingers and dead feet won't let me walk

I can see the dark shadow
The broken glasses
My smashed heart,
And memories of regret.

My whole body is crying
The sweat of pain is making me wet
The time of loneliness is eating me
The fever of love, making me so wild

If only I had a sky of my own
If only the waters falling down my eyes meant something
If only empty roads had some final destination...
If only I could stop the killing time...

I know my mind is completely petrified
I see nothing but a dead end
I know breath around me also infected 
With those suffocating thoughts

Oh! God
Why cannot I eradicate that devil face?
Why cannot I see the rainbow again?
I want to live above those clouds
In the garden of love and faith

Save me save me...
I know you can
Hold me hold me
Before the pond dries up 
And this fish is devour with cruel jaws of death
