Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
It's my mouth that pushes out this breath

[Chorus]
And if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love

[Verse 2]
Companion to our demons
They will dance, and we will play
With chairs, candles and cloth
Making darkness in the day
It'll be easy to look in or out
Upstream or down without a thought

[Chorus]
And if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
[Bridge]
Peace in the struggle
To find peace
Comfort on the way
To comfort

[Chorus]
And if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
And if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
I won't fear love

[Outro]
And if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage–
