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 I'm 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 thе fuck is left for me to blame? Thеre's no one here, 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 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 (I don't burn this way forever)
