The Living

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
