Analysis of Trust



Here I am
Lying in this darkness
Wondering wherever you are
Are you here
Inside this lonely feeling
Or drifting forever too far?

I want you
Never had the courage
To say it out loud
I need you
Not until tonight
Have I felt as high as clouds.

Oh, won't you take me
To wherever you exist
Eternity from ashes and dust
You can remake me
Into whatever you desire
Be the one alone I can trust.

You are far
Just beyond mortal reach
Unseen until the coming of dark
Come to me
I've waited long enough now
For you to kiss and make your mark

Just touch me
And I will surrender
Undo the vanity of light
Bring it on
I open myself now
Lead me to the darkness of night.

Oh, won't you take me
To wherever you exist
Eternity from ashes and dust
You can remake me
Into whatever you desire
Be the one alone I can trust.

Its time to say good-bye to a life of strife
Be born again in absence of light

Oh, won't you take me
To wherever you exist
Eternity from ashes and dust
You can remake me
Into whatever you desire
Be the one alone I can trust.
You're the one alobe I can trust.
