I feel a terrible fear
All of the time
It’s eating away
At all that’s yours and all that’s mine
It’s eating our home
It’s eating our bed
It has consumed
All that we’ve said
This fear is taking
All that I hold
This fear is stealing
This fear is sold
Your back is clean
My back is scarred
Your resolve is solid
Mine is halved
You turn your face
Into the light
I turn my back
Against the fight
You move your body
Into the world
I fold my arms
Around the pearl
You move your body
Into the world
I fold my arms
Around the pearl
