lyrics

Love, do not look at it.
Don’t say its name.
Only then
Can it enter your heart.

Try to see through it
Don’t put stock into it.
It’s all an illusion, you see?

And its’ hungry
Yeah, it’s starving.
For your attention
It lives and breathes.

But without you
Feeding it with your fear
it’s nothing but shadows
exposed by light.

Love, stop your crying.
Though your hope is dying.
You’re more in control than you think.

All of your cells will align
With the thoughts in your mind.
Humble servants, you see?

And its’ hungry.
Yeah, it’s starving.
For your attention
It lives and breathes.

But without you
Feeding it with your fear
it’s nothing but shadows
exposed by light.

Though it’s persistent
And sometimes convincing
that doesn’t mean
doesn’t mean it’s real.

Without you
Feeding it with your fear
It’s nothing but shadows
exposed by light.

It can’t harm you.
It can’t harm you.
