Pillar of Salt

I say the words, they float away
They don’t hold much weight
Cuz what they mean doesn’t show
You better let them go
Or they will let you down

The fire falls
Pillar of salt

I close the door and breath out
Don’t forget the in, keep walking
The neighbors fight, scream and shout
There’s no way they hear me talking
To myself or when I swear
For no good fucking reason at you
I hate the look that you wear
when you’re about to cry

The fire falls
Pillar of salt

Here’s my name on the card that Ohio gave me
For getting older keeping track of
Where I live down the road around town for 30 years
I’ve only had like five addresses
My fingerprints on a bottle of beer, like my 3rd one
I’ve got the credit bill to prove it
I don’t know the person
Who’s in the mirror

The fire falls
Pillar of salt
