Burrow Your Way to My Heart - The Darkest of The Hillside Thickets

When you were a little girl you were stung by a wasp

And the skin on your arm puffed up and went red

Yet you so loved that wasp and all of his brothers that you

Brought the whole damn angry hive into your

Right into your bed

As a child you were riddled with ringworm

So your father cut them out of your skin

Then you felt so alone and remorseful

You tracked each little worm down and put them back in

Have you ever tried to neck with an earwig

Oh, your body is a home to your friends

You’ve a tick for each nipple and a leech for each finger

And a parasitic love that never ends

Do you have any love left for me

I’m small, but that’s a start

Eat me up with your love

Burrow your way to my heart

Do you have any love left for me

I’m small, that’s a start

Eat me up with your love, please

Burrow your way to my heart
