Do you feel a fear that if you stay up all night with me

That you won’t remember the day or what it means to be free?

That in the Quiet of the night the world will just melt away?

I promise if you take that leap your senses will not lead you astray.

It may seem strange at first but there’s beauty in that deafening silence;

an orchestra harmonizing to nothing but the tune of your thoughts.

Take the journey with me and you might just hear not one beating heart, but two become one. And you’ll know you don’t need to run.

You’re right where you need to be. With me, in the quiet of the night.
