Await For his hands to warm my heart For his sounds to conquer Stark Lone Dark From afar

And you don't have to speak a word—heard it in your heart. Beat skips a lot, if only for me.

I’ll take a quiet life—a handshake of carbon monoxide. And, no alarms and no surprises.

Rain down, rain down; come on, rain down on me... from a great height, from a great height.

You can laugh your spineless laugh; we hope your rules and wisdom choke you. Now, we're one... in everlasting peace. We hope... that you choke... that you choke.

But you return to me at night just when I think I may have fallen asleep; your face is up against mine, and I’m too terrified to speak.

Strange that you think you can fly—strapped to a stone in a blinked needle’s eye.

Oh, so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you.

Bleeding; it's how they found us. So responsive. Draining out across the floor. Seeping through the chasm—frail and wanting; needing nothing less than more.

I'd happily take all those bullets inside you and put them inside of myself.
