Remedy

Wrapped inside you like a diamond

waiting for the dark to burn away

counting on your heartbeat's constant rhythm

to carry me back to myself

all of my thoughts, like junkyard dogs, guarding scraps of nothing

filling my head with senseless things that keep me from you

but I found the remedy

I found the cure for Everything

take me into your hands

help me love a world that I don't understand

lying in the grass I listened

underneath a black sky soaked in stars

til I heard the sound of my heart spinning

all my panic into love

out of the fire of false desire

beat up but I'm breathing

trying to stay wide awake

while all the world's asleep

chorus

and you're taught to want

all of life's shiny trinkets

and you're hoping that they will save you

but when it's all over

none of these things will matter

and you'll ask yourself "did I love?"

chorus
