Echo Drift - Fever Dreams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer heat melts through these walls
Mom's distant stare down empty halls
Fan keeps spinning, going nowhere
White noise drowns out her silent prayer

[Chorus]
Waves of static in my head
Things she never would have said
Watch the mercury rise and fall
Like her tears behind these walls
Like her tears behind these walls

[Verse 2]
Kitchen hums an anxious tune
Kettle's screaming at the moon
Pills scattered on the windowsill
Manchester's burning, time stands still
Her love's distorted, stretched too thin
Like tape that's warped in summer's sin

[Bridge]
Frequencies of pain
Washing machine's refrain
Everything's decaying
While the city's swaying
In this f*cking heat
In this f*cking heat

[Chorus]
Waves of static in my head
Things she never would have said
Watch the mercury rise and fall
Like her tears behind these walls
Like her tears behind these walls

[Outro]
White noise lullaby
Watch the circuits fry
Mother's distant eyes
Fade into the sky
While the city melts
While our system fails
While the city melts
While our system fails
(Fading out...)
