Salt Lick - Wretched

Reaching for another sedative, I want to find eternal sleep

We’ve grown so far apart, I’m in quiet hell

As your back rests next to mine

Daydream of smothering your breaths

Perfection, persistence

The experience of new breasts

Shallow surface value, we passed this long ago

Shallow surface value, trust and betrayal that is stopping our growth

Stopping our growth, destroy our home

Her desperate stare had no soul

Lust is petrified of the fear of loneliness

Bleach your skin and start to remove the fat

Put it back, into your lips, dye your hair and starve yourself

Covered in graffiti, you might fit in when your tattoos are healing

Fuck image, fuck your body

Consuming yourself for yourself, thinking of no one else

Don’t let her decide your death

Companions for decades all ending in webs

Poison the camel, queen is my home

Never another, ripe with resent

Poison the camel;

I’m lost with resent

Weeks before we explode, I’ll reach you yet

Reaching for a joint, some mescaline

She’s poisoning Winston so Charlotte’s my home

Blank expression on the floor, waiting for my presence

She speaks in truth splattered flame, starts wars to be wed

Marred and intoxicated, the last thing I swallow

I’ve wandered off, gotten lost and asked for God

Often bothered souls are bought in whole

Often bothered souls are bought in whole by demons

Rot away, let it spoil

Shallow surface value

We’ve crossed this long ago

Shallow surface value

Trust and betrayal that is stopping our growth

Stopping our growth destroys our home

Your desperate stare had no soul

Lust is petrified of the fear of loneliness
