Salt

I can never process

What I'm feeling in my bones

Like a sickness

That I can't diagnose

Some days I think I'm afraid of my shadow

I show up to fight at all the wrong battles

And I don't think my

Mind will be right till I

Pour the salt into the wound

Let the rain wash over you

If everything I said was true

Then why am I

Paralyzed?

Watch the grass blow in the wind for the hell of it

And sometimes I get so caught up that I forget

(How could I forget?)

That all of our words only mean what's behind them

You can't throw gasoline on a fire

And say you tried to put it out

Pour the salt into the wound

Let the rain wash over you

If everything I said was true

Then why am I

Hiding from the blinding lights?

I never had an alibi

If everything I said was true

Then why am I

Why am I still paralyzed?

Why am I still paralyzed?

Step back as the ashes rise

Embers up towards the sky

With all the things that I can't find

Pour the salt into the wound

Let the rain wash over you

If everything I said was true

Then why am I

Hiding from the blinding lights?

I never had an alibi

If everything I said was true

Then why am I

Why am I still paralyzed?

Still paralyzed
