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 
 [bad word] 
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?"
