about

This song was recorded for The Feverfew's debut full-length LP, "Apparitions". It was originally released on Eyeball Records in November 2004.

lyrics

It's snowing on a Monday
as I am driving home
and the guilt begins to creep up
from the ones I've left alone
And on this road their bodies
still hang up in the air
between the birch's branches
where I last left them, there
And palm prints on my window
from her hands out in the cold
Now four years have gone by here
and I have gotten old

[ chorus: ]
And you said yourself
that I'm falling towards the sun
Like I disguise myself
to make you forget I'm the one
Like this was just a trap I built
and you are just a game I won
But I don't want to run

I remember counting white beads
as I sat in wooden pews
where I laid down my confessions
and I said a prayer for you
'Cause it's harder in December
and it's harder in the cold
and it's hard not to remember
all the lies that we have told late at night
Shifting shape under florescent light

[ chorus ]

The spray-paint said "salvation"
but I knew you wanted more
So I paint myself in blue light
and I unlock all the doors
Because the city is getting smaller
and I don't know where to go
and I spent my only dollar
hoping maybe you would know

[ chorus ]

The Feverfew Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Feverfew has a sound born in the South and dragged up through the East, landed somewhere between a Brooklyn rooftop and the sea. With unassuming posture, Andrew Bethany Spiers makes an impact. Spiers' lyrics are formidably poetic and steep him as a promising talent in a tradition of literary musicians that includes Patti Smith, David Berman, Thurston Moore and David Byrne, to name a few. ... more
