Skin - Marika Hackman
[Verse 1]
I'm jealous of your neck
That narrow porcelain plinth of flesh
It gets to hold your head
And I'd rather perform the task instead
I'll use my hands
[Verse 2]
You told me of your heart
The cold tile cavern bathed in dark
And earthy roots hanging from within
To shed some light the fire must get in
[Chorus]
A searing pulse
I'm a fever in your chest
The burning sun I'm west
[Verse 3]
I, I am too naive
Your lunar strands were lit in red and green
A captivating scene
A portion of myself was lost to me
[Chorus]
But I'm not dead
Just a harbour no one's in
An empty salt filled skin
