When I shut my eyes, I can still see yours flicker
With that love in a glare that's too enormous to tell
And my ears make out the beauty in your whisper
For it still hums inside like the song of a shell.

Because when entwined I become a believer,
I drain all the poisons that too long have dwelled.
I take all the sweat, the gasps and the shivers
So you'll stay inside when I'm back with myself.

And if ever the memories will fade while I linger
You could revive me with the ones in your well.
