Brown Bird - Forest of Fevers lyrics

There are beasts in the
Forest of fevers tonight
And sprites in the sweat of
Your brow taking flight
To a field where they leave you to lay
Helpless and weak with no will left to fight

Each moment's an hour, each hour a day
You feel your flesh fleetingly fall to decay
Any perks of your affluent past
Have crumbled away

Now your only light
Has left you to wallow alone
You must swallow your pride
And call out for a friend to come
The beasts bare their teeth
And grow closer with each setting sun
Will you conquer the temptress
Of ignorant spite?
And release the belief everything is alright
Everything may be as it must be
But it sure ain't alright

Every choice is a challenge
Each challenge a trial
You fear judge and jury
Hangman and green mile
You'd best get your strategy right
Confess or denial

Now your only light
Has left you to wallow alone
You must swallow your pride
And call out for a friend to come
The beasts bare their teeth
And grow closer with each setting sun
