Let me live inside you,
let me be the fever that never breaks,
let me tend your aches
and be your quietest, most devoted ghost.
let me be the fever that never breaks,
let me tend your aches
and be your quietest, most devoted ghost.

I want to be your favorite, quietest ghost.
To live inside your head and tend the ache.
My love will be the name you fear the most,
A lovely fever that will never break.
To live inside your head and tend the ache,
I'll polish every memory-shard you own.
A lovely fever that will never break,
The quiet hum inside your hollow bone.
I'll polish every memory-shard you own,
And be the queen of all your shadow-maws.
The quiet hum inside your hollow bone,
I'll rewrite all your body's broken laws.
And be the queen of all your shadow-maws,
I'll soothe the buzzing of the cannon-fire.
I'll rewrite all your body's broken laws,
And be your one and final, true desire.
I'll soothe the buzzing of the cannon-fire,
My love will be the name you fear the most.
And be your one and final, true desire,
I want to be your favorite, quietest ghost.
