"Fever Dream" lyrics

It's in my mind there's nothing thereI've stirred crazy and licked the spoon
The pacing man inside my head
He's worn holes in both his shoes
All this time spent in my brain left not knowing just what I think
About the state that things are in
Only children's books have happy ends

I've been locked in this Fever dream
You see it's all just smoke and mirrors
Nothing's really how it seems
Why can't I just feel alright for once in my life?
Could I go out in the light, in the light

I had a while to sit and think
Walls and wants and worldly things
We go back to life before
Carry on behind our screens
You live life between your ears
To come to terms with what you fear
Or push it back down the rabbit hole
Push all you want but it never goes

I've been locked inside this fever dream
You see it's all just smoke and mirrors
Nothing's really how it seems
Why can't I just feel alright?
It'd sure be nice if I could go out in the light
In the light

I've been locked inside this fever dream
You see it's all just smoke and mirrors
Nothing's really how it seems
Why can't I just feel alright for once in my life
Can I go out in the light, in the light?
