[Verse 1]
Clothes
That cover your skin
The grace in the chaos
That was hidden within
The grains of salt
For every lie I told
That was ripped from the stitches
And torn from the folds
[Chorus]
And whilst you were sleeping
I sat in the dark
With all my offences
The creases on my heart
And all these bad feelings
From my teenage boy brain
And for all of my offences
I will count the grains of salt
Salt
[Verse 2]
If walls could whisper
They would whisper to me
"We'll keep you sheltered, my dear
But we can't set you free"
So dance with your demons
In television light
& If you must tell her
Then you better tell her tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause whilst you were sleeping
I sat in the dark
With all of my offences
The creases on my heart
And all these bad feelings
From my teenage boy brain
And for all of my offences
I will count the grains of salt
[Post-Chorus]
(Keep them with your secrets)
For all the lies I told
(Scattered in your skin)
Count the grains of salt
(From the ones who loved you)
For all the lies I told
(Even through your sins)
Count the grains of salt
('Cause somewhere in the darkness)
For all the lies I told
(Is where you'll find my soul)
Count the grains of salt
(Buried underground)
For all the lies I told
(Is where I belong)
Count the grains of salt
[Outro]
Salt
That covers your skin
