To Conquer Pain With Love

So come, give me your hand
Give me your heart and I'll carry it everywhere
Believe that love still exists
I know I do try to not drown in my own despair

How will I know if all of these tears I've cried
can be a river to float on?
How will I find that warm beating ribcage
that wants me to rip it open?

No, I am not a hell of a lover
I'm finding it hard to trust anyone that way
But if I don't give up myself
then how can I think that you'll do it and I need that

How will I hear that pounding that never stops
that I can't abode?
How will I see that horizon, that constant glow
that is your backbone?

How will I know if all of these tears I've cried
can be a river to float on?
How will I find that warm beating ribcage
that wants me to rip it open?

To conquer pain with love
conquer loneliness with love
conquer fear with love
conquer body hate with love

How will I know?
How will I find?
How will I hear?
How will I see?
