Salt Candy

Lyrics

One by one They fall into the ocean Brittle heads they populate the bay like stars I was once a thousand other things Now i'm not I don't understand why Mother, do you recognize your daughter? Little head so full of big ideas that die And i don't want you to see i'm hurting Maybe you already know why I wanted to be carried in my mother's arms I wanted to be buried in my mother's arms I wanted to be carried into the squall Salt candy in your mouth when you know i'm gone Once again I let the current carry me Moved from the woods to the brightest city streets Made a home of chrome and everything around me a nest Of rust and plasticine I wanted to be carried in my mother's arms I wanted to be buried in my mother's arms I wanted to be carried into the squall Salt candy in your mouth when you know i'm gone
