Bury Me

Bury me in your mind
                                   but forget me in your head 
                                  I'm the living sick 
                                   wishing I were dead.

                              Can you feel me in your skin 
                               and taste my dying flesh 
                                then when you exhale 
                                   can you smell me on your breath 

                                     I want to be the center 
                                       of your broken heart
                                      I want to eat your pieces
                                       when you fall apart.

                                        I will lift you up
                                          to force you down on me
                                         and when I get you high
                                           I'll set your body free.

                                                                  James......................................
