[Verse 1]
Say what you want
Call it what you will
Follow the herd and swallow the pill
You sound absurd, even if you're right
Take your step back from me, I want to fight
[Chorus 1]
Fight fight till it doesn't feel right anymore
Can't find the words I've had before
Don't want to hear another word from you
Hold your breath, I'll hold mine too
[Verse 2]
I saw you fall, fall into this pit
I heard you screaming out curses and shit
Your tongue was heavy
I didn't understand
All that confessing but that cup in your hand
[Chorus 2]
You were drinking from a salt pond, laughing with your forked tongue
You're not the one I've known before
Don't wanna hear another word from you
Hold your breath, I'll hold mine too
Hold your breath, I'll hold mine too
[Bridge]
Say what you want
Call it what you need
'Cause everything I've known has brought me to my knees
Say what you want
Call it what you need
'Cause everything I've known has brought me to my knees
[Refrain]
Has brought me to my knees
Has brought me to my knees
[Chorus 3]
Drink from a salt pond
Laugh with our forked tongues
You're not the one I've known before
Don't wanna hear another word from you
Hold your breath, I'll hold mine too
Hold your breath, I'll hold mine
Run River North released Salt Pond on Mon Feb 01 2016.
