ABSENCE OF FEAR

Jewel
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

Muscles 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 the splendor of this secret inside of me
And it knows that you're no stranger, you're my gravity
My hands will adore you, through all darkness
And they will lay you out in moonlight, and re-invent your name

For I'm wanting
And I am needing
You to be here
I need you near
Inside the absence of fear
