Cabin Fever - Clare Fader

Cabin Fever Lyrics

The light is moody
the walls are smirking
The fire is cackling
at my unease
The kitchen's crass

The stove has gas

As I succumb
to your disease


The fridge is listless

The drapes are twisted

I hear them mocking
the window's pain

And I am restless

The house is guestless

No one comes knocking

'cept cold,
hard rain


Oh cabin fever

I'm a believer

In the evil
Of your ways

You numb my senses

And jump my fences

You been hanging 'round
For days


The rugs are edgy

The kettles hisses

A thousand tea bags
Have blocked the
drains

My face is ashen

I'm lacking passion

I'm sucking caffeine
Outta coffee stains


I'm out of toothpaste
I'm out of tonic

It's a million miles
To the corner store

Where I'd buy icecream

Or maybe morphine

I'm crazed from craving
All I adore
The butcher's block
has writer's cramp

The cuckoo clock
fears rising damp

The fish tank's dank

The liquor's drank

I'd drink the dregs

Of pickled eggs


Oh cabin fever etc
I lie awake
and curse the birds

Their morning song

Their mocking words

Oh haunting night

Oh taunting day

Oh charming life

I waste away


I'm tired of silence

And burning incense

I crave my each
And every vice

Without distraction

I'm out of action

But I've done my time

I've paid my price


The walls behind me

The worlds before me

I walk the streets
to find a dive

I meet a stranger

Who warns of danger

But there ain't no hell
I won't survive


No cabin fever

I'm no believer

I'm through with you
And all your ways

I'm feelin' closure

Regained composure

I'm counting down
To better days
