Salt Skin lyrics

You're as sharp as a knife

and you fit like a glove

That is no way to live

that is no way to love

Full of fear in your skin

and the weakness in giving in

You're stabbed in the back but you feel no pain

Push the heaviest doors

that you can't open

Yeah they tied me up

and my body lies still, again

You're as bright as the sun

and as bold as the moon

I don't know when you'll break

but it's gonna be soon

If my will caves in, I'll be in the same

boat as you

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they created

just to understand...

"the meaning of"

Hands on strings and my mouth open

Find the perfect words

that I've not spoken

And I won't tell the truth

unless you want me to

For all of the times that I lost my head

When it rolled to the floor

and I found it again

But when it came back

No, I didn't know my own name

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they created

just to understand...

"the meaning of"

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they created

just to understand...

I've got the salt skin

Running to where he is

Never going to give in

Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin

Telling me I'm winning wars they created

just to understand...

"the meaning"
