inside my skin, there is this space
it twists & turns, it bleeds & aches

inside my heart, there's an empty room
it's waiting for lightning, it's waiting for you &

i am wanting
& i am needing you here
inside the absence of fear

muscle & sinew, velvet & stone
this vessel is haunted, it creaks & moans
my bones call to you in their separate skin
i make myself translucent to let you in, for

i am wanting
& i am needing you here
inside the absence of fear

there is this hunger, this restlessness inside of me
& 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

i am wanting, oh
& i am needing you here
i need you near
inside the absence of fear
