Salt

[Verse 1]
I tried to take it with a grain of salt
But the lid came off
Tables turning like the serpents sold to suckers
In the synagogue

[Verse 2]
You rented space inside my head, then changed the locks before you left
I couldn’t fill it for so long
You’d rather swim than take the bait
I used to think that that was wrong

[Chorus]
Stay with me till I stop screaming
I swear, I’m almost done
Follow me till I quit breathing
Then shoot my body into the sun

[Verse 3]
It took us years to make the engine start
Then the wheels came off
Highway raging, as you vacantly persuade me
To count it as a loss

[Verse 4]
You ran my race till your legs convinced you there was nothing left
I never thought to look and see
You always longed for something more
I never dreamed that wasn’t me

[Chorus]
So stay with me till I stop screaming
I swear, I’m almost done
Follow me till I quit breathing
Then shoot my body into the sun

[Chorus]
Stay with me till I stop screaming
I swear, I’m almost done
Follow me till I quit breathing
Then shoot my body into the sun
