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
