Softly, softly leave the room
With all you can't stand to share
Though bloodless, I left you
My heart is true
I would not leave you starving
What lives between our cells?
What lives between our minds?
Because when you make a kill
Something in me dies
They would not need to know
What doesn't matter now
How we never hated you
How we don't know how
I know I must belong
Like we all must belong
With or without you
Boldly I wander, bold I move
Full of the forms we fill
The strange of my kind grow stranger still
They see what I am blind to
I know I've been a fool
I know I walk a line
But when I break my stride
Something in me dies
They would not need to know
What couldn't matter now
How we never hated you
Now we don't know how
I know I must belong
Like we all must belong
With or without you
I've done all that I can
I never told you
I can't stand to be still
Hold me and maybe I will
