Absence of Fear lyrics

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 lightning;

It's waiting for you

I am wanting, and...

I am needing you

To be 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 a separate skin

I make myself translucent

To let you in, boy...

I am wanting, and...

I am needing you

To be 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

To be here...

I need you near...

Inside the absence of fear
