Something about the way
Blank paper calls my name
It scares me
Like the muses who control
This involuntary hand of mine
Deep inside
They reside right next to you

This December night
In faded light far from home
It scares me
Like the melodies breeding
Underneath your skin, waiting
Deep inside
To work themselves out true

It suddenly occurs to me
How heavy your hand feels on my hip
Like the weight of the world
Bearing down
Drowning every other sound but this

The night is too dark
The day is too bright
It scares me
That nothing seems quite right
Deep inside
Without you

Something about the distance
From every one I have ever known
It scares me
Like the secret thoughts
And darkest memories I’ve pressed
Deep inside
That I only pretend to forget

The visions dancing
In a world where I’m a stranger
It scares me
Like the long winding road
Carrying me farther from myself
Deep inside
Invisible warm and wet

And it suddenly occurs to me
How heavy your kiss feels on my lips
Like the weight of the world
Bearing down
Drowning every other sound but this

The night is too short
The day is too long
It scares me
That everything seems wrong
Deep inside
Without you
