I will make room for you to take up space..

To roam.

Don’t be afraid of me

Johnny Dust Feb 2021

I can drown myself all I like
All of the pretty words can still the waters
When I come down I’ll come back around

They will all say, “keep your cool, calm down”
They are afraid
My fear of their fear keeps me awake

At whatever sacrifice of my sanity
For whatever meaningless piece of reality

Someone said sleep is death taking it’s practice

I Am Castor I Am Pollux

Champion shadow boxer
                                               Killing kings and myself

                    I am divine, half alive
                     Wasting my stolen time

My twins lie and wait
Taking what they want

                                     Ask me who I am next time

I might tell you the truth

First Morning

First morning of autumn
5:22
I can see my breath float away
But I still cannot see you

The days are circling in and out
Way too fast for me

First morning in your room
7:13
Well that was unexpected
But let’s make this a thing

Days keep circling in and out
Way too fast for me

It Comes In Waves

Slow down on the smokin
So I thought you would help keep my mouth busy
Now the thought of it is making me dizzy
Now I’m coming down and so are the walls

There’s a First Time For Everything

Talk me down
Take your turn
Cigarette
Let it burn
Ease the pain
Lose my mind
Lies flow out
Like "I'm Divine"

Don’t Forget
