Salt Lick
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Reaching for another sedative, I want to find eternal sleep
We’ve grown so far apart, I’m in quiet hell
As your back rests next to mine
Daydream of smothering your breaths
Perfection, persistence
The experience of new breasts
Shallow surface value, we passed this long ago
Shallow surface value, trust and betrayal that is stopping our growth
Stopping our growth, destroy our home
Her desperate stare had no soul
Lust is petrified of the fear of loneliness
Bleach your skin and start to remove the fat
Put it back, into your lips, dye your hair and starve yourself
Covered in graffiti, you might fit in when your tattoos are healing
Fuck image, fuck your body
Consuming yourself for yourself, thinking of no one else
Don’t let her decide your death
Companions for decades all ending in webs
Poison the camel, queen is my home
Never another, ripe with resent
Poison the camel; I’m lost with resent
Weeks before we explode, I’ll reach you yet
Reaching for a joint, some mescaline
She’s poisoning Winston so Charlotte’s my home
Blank expression on the floor, waiting for my presence
She speaks in truth splattered flame, starts wars to be wed
Marred and intoxicated, the last thing I swallow
I’ve wandered off, gotten lost and asked for God
Often bothered souls are bought in whole
Often bothered souls are bought in whole by demons
Rot away, let it spoil
Shallow surface value
We’ve crossed this long ago
Shallow surface value
Trust and betrayal that is stopping our growth
Stopping our growth destroys our home
Your desperate stare had no soul
Lust is petrified of the fear of loneliness
