A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace Lyrics

Artist: Bright Eyes
Album: Fevers And Mirrors

You turn on a spindle. You are so much looser now but youâ‚¬â„¢re not explaining how you gained such new repose. I touch the clasp of your locket, with its picture held, some secret you wouldnâ‚¬â„¢t tell but let it choke your neck. So we imagine a darkness where all shapes divide, solids changing into light, with a burst of heat so bright. Well fine, donâ‚¬â„¢t you do what I want you to. Donâ‚¬â„¢t degrade yourself the way I do because you donâ‚¬â„¢t depend on all the shit that I use to make my moods improve.

Near a sea of pianos, there were waves of chords that crashed against the shore in one huge and useless roar. And there were girls bringing water, like a dream they came to cure the fever of my brain, and soothe my burning throat. And they made me a necklace, hanging beads of sweat on a string of my regrets, and placed it round my neck and they were singing, Donâ‚¬â„¢t you do what youâ‚¬â„¢ve wanted to. Yeah, donâ‚¬â„¢t destroy yourself like those cowards do and maybe the sun keeps coming up because it has gotten used to you and your constant need for proof.
