I want to crawl into your skin,  
into the space where you begin.
I want to course all through your veins
until I find where it is you end.

When you forget I'm there,
I'll make my way to your heart
Despite protest it's unfair
To take and break you apart

I'll pull it slowly from your fingertips,
Escape through the windows of your eyes,

I'm thinking how you'll never miss it,
Even when your ribs ring hollow,
So strange a muscle could be so fragile,
And funnier still how it's safer here,

Away from the rage in your chest
Away from the hate in your head

I'll pull it slowly from your fingertips,
Escape through the windows of your eyes,
Johnny Dust
