MIND FEVER, SOUL FIRE © Chris Desjardins

Inferno of illumination,
a sovereign region left unprotected in my soul,
polluted vice paying a heavy toll
Dollars of fire extinguished,
sharpen the air,
hell of a jealous sex is freezing me alive
My swollen bones rattle with my thoughts,
my blood bright with Nothingness
This fever in my soul is all I’ve got
Honey, you make my heart mute,
I feel as if I’m drowning in a concrete suit
Nocturnal emotion, rapturous blessing caressing
an invisible caress because you’re no longer here

MIND FEVER’S BURNING MY BRIDGES
MY FRIENDS THINK THAT I’VE GONE MAD
MY HEART’S A SAD BALLOON
GETTING READY TO BURST
A SHADOW FROM THE PAST IS
WEEPING LIKE A GHOST
AND MY LIPS ARE MY UNDOING
BECAUSE I’M TOO HUNGRY FOR A KISS
FROM YOU, LITTLE ONE,
AN INVISIBLE CARESS

Then my heart explodes, a cloudburst of blood,
ink flowing in my veins, a sick black flood
My mind fires ghosts, soaked through and through
with a scarlet fever from thinking about you
When’s it going to end? When’s it going to end?

CHORUS

Mind in flames, racing hot through my thoughts
Soul’s fire is freezing me with ice cold flames
Honey, your touch the only thing that can warm me,
your breath the only thing that can save me,
your embrace the only way to keep me
from freezing to death, freezing me to death

CHORUS...

MIND FEVER, SOUL FIRE
