David Howls - Salt Lyrics

I've only known the desert where the city is made of salt
I tried to plant my garden but the neighbors
They found my faults
It's hard for us to grow
When you cut off the supply
The leaves turn brown and die
We're not the same as the places we came from
Spit out that taste of the past that still shakes us
Take with you the memories
Hold them close or let them be
We are made of more than history
I was promised revelation
It's at the bottom of the lake
After 30 years of being here
It's a surface I've yet to break
It's time for me to leave
'Cause I'm tired of the taste
Clean the salt off of my face
We're not the same as the places we came from
Spit out that taste of the past that still shakes us
Take with you the memories
Hold them close or let them be
We are made of more than history
We're not the same as the places we came from
Spit out that taste of the past that still shakes us
Take with you the memories
Hold them close or let them be
We are made of more than history
