Absence of Fear

Inside my skin
there is this space
it twists and turns
it bleeds and aches

Inside my heart
there's an empty room
It's waiting for lighting
It's waiting for you

I'm wanting,
I'm 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
I make myself transulcent
to let you in
for

I'm wanting,
I'm needing you here
Inside the absence of fear

There is a hunger
This restlessness inside of me
and it knows that no stranger
you're my gravity

My hands will adore you through the night
All the darkness aim
They will lay you out in the moonlight
and reinvent your name

For
I am wanting you
and I'm wanting you here
In the absence of fear
I need you near
inside the absence of fear
