A Yawn Worth Yelling Fever lyrics

They said, "it takes a thousand years to make a single word."
So I wasted no time in unlearning the one isolating application ^^of each-noun and verb.
They told me "we are creatures constantly starving to death
Weeping to grow, growing to age,
breathing which ripens
us with every breath. "

Nothing lasts and nothing leaves us
We pass on as light dressed up as fire.
Life will last if it relieves us.
But I observe as a rock underwater, current churning around me.

And as it swims around me,
I can adapt quietly
And the more I remain motionless,
The more I realize it's for the best.
And as the flow goes toward me,
I stand firm resolutely
For I can glean no rest

From swimming with the rest.

I'm the rattling chains of the change
In my pocket, which lines my every inch, every bone
And i have grown ten years in growing up for several months alone.
If you can somehow connect to me
I am no longer unique,
And if anyone speaks through me
I lose sight of what I seek.

I look in the mirror.
Jaw jutted, mouth bleating.
My hand holds my heart.
In hopes that it's beating.

We lose our sight to the 3am fever.
