Salting the Earth

It sounds just like a eulogy
What the fuck did they do to me
The voices that never leave
Dragging me down until I'm too deep

I think I hate myself more now than you ever could
One blink of an eye and it's gone for good

I'm left with the dust in this vacant room

If it's the salt in my veins
What helps to slow the decay
I just hope it doesn't burn this way forever
If it's the salt in my veins
What makes it so hard to leave
I just hope that I don't burn this way forever

A sickness without a name
Who the fuck is left for me to blame
There's no one there I just pushed them all away
That's where you'll find me
Digging into these wounds again
Emptier than I've ever been
Stitching together what I've got left

Is it living through pain if I'm always chasing death?

If it's the salt in my veins
What helps to slow the decay
I just hope it doesn't burn this way forever
If it's the salt in my veins
What makes it so hard to leave
I just hope that I don't burn this way forever

Is it a plague to end up like this?
To let it linger inside my head
Was I ruined from the start?
Ripping my limbs apart

Bleeding out
All on my own
Bleeding out
I choke on the blood in my throat

If it's the salt in my veins
What helps to slow the decay
I just hope it doesn't burn this way forever
If it's the salt in my veins
What makes it so hard to leave
I just hope that I don't burn this way forever

If it's the salt in my veins
What makes it so hard to leave
I just hope that I don't burn this way forever

(I don't burn this way forever)
