My heart resides in the darkness of fear
And my soul dwells on the lies of truth.

These silences are anything but comfort,
Those distances were anything but pleasure;

Your love is anything but love to me.

I thought I asked for a part and you gave me the whole
Instead I gave you my whole but you still ask for an unknown part;

Lest I could make that vague part know for ya
You would bless me with tears of gratitude.
