Absence Of Fear; This Little Bird

[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.

[This Little Bird]

There's a little bird
Somebody sent
Down to the earth to
Live on the wind
Blowing on the wind
She sleeps on the wind
This little bird
Little bird.

Light and fragile
And feathered sky-blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high
Up in the sky
Way out of reach
Of human eyes.

Light and fragile
And feathered sky-blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high
Up in the sky
Way out of reach
Of human eyes.

Light and fragile
She's feathered sky-blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through.

And the only time
She touches ground
Is when that little bird
Little bird
Is when that little bird
Little bird
Is when that little bird
Dies.
