Grain Of Salt Lyrics

Please accept this apology even though it's been so long

I know this isn't the first time, but I know that I was wrong

Forgive and forget is what they say, but how can you do that for me?

It's too much to ask, so don't tell just for simplicity's sake

Different times are different lives

Different journeys we all go through

But different lies call for different

Despising ideologies that I see in you

Everyone changes, like the channels on TV

Could be for better, or for worse

But then there's little old me

Too scared for lovin', too scared for fuckin'

Double entendre screwin' up just walkin'

Everything I do is in good taste

So I say to myself as I take it at my own pace

You talk too much, yet you don't say enough

Empty promises of being "up to snuff"

You are loved, you are cherished, you are just what they want

Another cog in the machine that society runs 'cause

Oh I know where I've been going

But I can tell where you've been

You've got marks and scratches, and loving patches

Let me wash away all this sin

In the crystal basin of the fountain of yore

Wash away the blood until I am pure

And I know…

I'll be clean

Now let's make this clear

I love you more than anything

But the constant lies that wrap my mind

Are what makes me sing

I don't wanna let you down

But that ship may have sailed

And I wanna be friends

But I just sit here and fail

Take this all with a grain of salt

'Cause I don't know how it's all my fault

And yet I'm the one who's saying it is

While the Chains of Time go and chase our kids

Our kids are becoming adults now

'Cause you can't catch time from the calf to the cow

For the smilies and fantasies we all dream about

It's melting our faces and giving us gout

And drugging us up, and killing us all

But before that we must first suffer the fall

In the bottomless pit that you stumbled on once

But the cover's revealed so it's time to, what? Jump!

And you're falling forever, but is that quantified?

And you're just terrified, fate is solidified

This is not dignified, what does it signify?

Yeah you're going to die, yeah you're going to die

Oh I know where I've been going

But I can tell where you've been

You've got marks and scratches, and loving patches

Let me wash away all this sin

In the crystal basin in the fountain of yore

Wash away the blood until I am pure

And I know…
