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 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
