Absence Of Fear

Jewel · Spirit [1998]

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
