Stopping your heartbeat But the parts stay in their place Call on yourself tonight Don't back away Scratches on skin move slow Put it back put it back down low I felt a trace of your craving The living sometimes will wait their whole lives Today you take mine Strength of a god as I open my hands to you Send all my blood to you Till your oceans have filled right through And on the shored I will wait for days It's not a cause for alarm It's a strange and lovely place Your absence makes me strong So here I will wait, I will wait, I will wait The living sometimes Today I told it goodbye A creature dead in your jaws Strength of a god as I open my hands to you Here in these oceans I wait as you call You said you would come back, you told me yourself Light will escape you wherever you are So in darkness I will wait
