ABSENCE OF FEAR

 

Inside my skin there is this space

It twists and turns

It bleed and aches

Inside my heart there's a empty room

It's waiting for lightning

It's waiting for you

And I am wanting

And I am needing you here

Inside the absence of fear

Muscle and sinew

Velvet and stone

This vessel is haunted

It creaks and moans

My bones call to you

In their seperate skin

I make myself translucent

To let you in, for

I am wanting

And I am needing you here

Inside the absence of fear

There is this hunger

This restlessness inside of me

And it knows that you're no stranger

You're my gravity

My hands will adore you through

All darkness aim

They will lay you out in moonlight

And reinvent your name

For I am wanting

And I am needing you here

I need you near

Inside the absence

Of fear
