You wait by the river
Days are long and melt right into nothing
You wait for my eyes
And who else is waiting for the summer sky
Your still voice drives me further under now
No tomb or blessing
Buried in the poisoned ground
Unbearable
To have the beast untied
The coming of my ruin
Age tears the spine
And the devil inside
Comes back to escort me
I burn
This fever drives me
Straight into your arms again
Unspeakable
Drop your withered pride
Come back and forgive me
Freezing in the blue light
Hid my plan under a blanket of dust
The pressure of the years
Delivers me back into your grip
I am pledging my love to you
Still waiting
Breathing under siege
Oppressed by the dreams I have to feed
Crushed by the flood
I won't let you go
Born unwise
Seeking trust in a broken creed
Crushed by the grey
I'm waiting for colour
Days are long and melt right into nothing
You wait for my eyes
And who else is waiting for the summer sky
No tomb or blessing
Buried in the poisoned ground
To have the beast untied
The coming of my ruin
Age tears the spine
And the devil inside
Comes back to escort me
I burn
This fever drives me
Straight into your arms again
Unspeakable
Drop your withered pride
Come back and forgive me
Hid my plan under a blanket of dust
The pressure of the years
Delivers me back into your grip
I am pledging my love to you
Still waiting
Oppressed by the dreams I have to feed
Crushed by the flood
I won't let you go
Born unwise
Seeking trust in a broken creed
Crushed by the grey
I'm waiting for colour

It sounds a lot like someone struggling with an addiction that destroys the normal life.
@Torniojaws Nice analysis! As a recovering addict that has a ring of truth to it. Thanks.

I think this song is about returning to a past relationship. The lyric hero dreams about someone (first paragraph), the he admits that even moving forward and growing old ("age tears my spine") he returns to that person ("This fever drives me Straight into your arms again"). And everything tells about regret and wanting to have this relationship back (paragraph 4)
