Absence Of Fear Lyrics

Jewel

Absence of fear
Inside my skin
There is this space...
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches
Inside my heart
Theres an empty room.
Its waiting for lightning;
Its 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 the splendor of this
Secret inside of me
And it knows that youre no stranger,
Youre 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.
