lyrics

Anxiety looms over the foundation of my skull-sized home
Lingering, it haunts me like a spell of impending death
I will take your hand and follow you into the dark
With you I am safe: wrapped in the embrace of an ardent light
I have seen you and I, and with you I am happy
As long as I am with you when this ends, I will be ok
The noise that rots away in my mind will cease to grow one day
Until the soil of this earth tastes my mortal shell, I will live with joy all the days of my life
With you I am safe
Joy will follow me all the days of my life
I no longer need to be afraid
