A tremor starts moving along the inner seam Waking from the middle of a paralyzed dream The rigid posture softens and the shoulders drop Pushing past the margin where the whispers stop No more quiet distance, no more safety valves No more cutting life into neat little halves The rush comes roaring right up through the floor Kicking out the hinges on the heavy iron door Every micro-evasion burning into ash Dropping every emblem in a sudden flash No defense remaining, no place left to hide Taking the velocity of the downward slide Let The Fever Break! Let The Panic Spill! Done With The Numbness And The Bitter Pill! A Lifetime Of Pressure Turning Into Light! Everything Surrenders In The Hallway Tonight! Let The Armor Drop! Let The Center Crack! Nothing Left To Cover! Nothing Pulling Back! ...Let the fever break... The quiet expectation shatters on the wood Leaving raw desire where the patience stood No room for caution, no room for regret Sweating through the linen in a heavy sweat Feel the pulse hit peak in the center of the chest Giving the resistance an eternal rest Standing in the ruin of the empty space Trembling in the open with an unmasked face Every micro-evasion burning into ash Dropping every emblem in a sudden flash No defense remaining, no place left to hide Taking the velocity of the downward slide Let The Fever Break! Let The Panic Spill! Done With The Numbness And The Bitter Pill! A Lifetime Of Pressure Turning Into Light! Everything Surrenders In The Hallway Tonight! Let The Armor Drop! Let The Center Crack! Nothing Left To Cover! Nothing Pulling Back! ...Let the fever break... The boundary is broken. The skin is bare. Breathing in the static of the midnight air. No more hesitation. No more retreat. The panic in the belly and the pounding of the beat. Unfasten the buckle. Uncouple the brace. Let the raw emotion wash across the face. Let The Fever Break! Let The Panic Spill! Done With The Numbness And The Bitter Pill! A Lifetime Of Pressure Turning Into Light! Everything Surrenders In The Hallway Tonight! Let The Armor Drop! Let The Center Crack! Nothing Left To Cover! Nothing Pulling Back! ...Let the fever break... Fever broke... Margin clear... Trip the quiet catch... Full surrender tonight.
