“I feel her most, Father, when I play my instrument,” he whispered to the priest in the confessional. “I can’t play anymore. I won’t.”

“I don’t understand. Surely, feeling closer to someone you loved can’t be bad?” The priest said.

“Father, when I say, ‘I feel her,’ I don’t mean it in a heavenly way. I feel her cold, dead, hands wrap around my throat. She knows what I’ve done and she’s come for me. Help me, Father! How can I get rid of her?”

The priest sat silently for a moment. “Go home and play till justice is done.”

(Closer to the source)
Everything seems so much brighter
(Closer to the source)
All the burdens, so much lighter
(Closer to the source)
Help you see things just a little clearer
(Closer to the source)
Loving feelings getting nearer
