Lyrics for Salt

Stuck inside of the wrong frame I don't feel attached to this name My body, I must reclaim With different eyes and no shame Try, try to just hear me out Don't ask why, why But I'm taking this route, it's alright, right? That's what I tell myself, but I don't know, no So I ran 'til I couldn't And I screamed 'til my voice was gone I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why But these memories are nothing to me, just salt Look in the mirror and tell me What it is like to be free How do I grasp reality When I don't have an identity? Who, who can I look to? 'Cause I'm not like you, you And I don't believe in the truth, truth 'Cause all of my life's built on lies So I ran 'til I couldn't And I screamed 'til my voice was gone I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why I know what you're implying I'm trying to get my feet off the ground I know, I know, I'm trying, I'm trying These memories are nothing to me, just salt Stuck inside of the wrong frame Don't feel attached to this name How do I grasp reality When I don't have an identity? Who, who can I look to? 'Cause I'm not like you, you And I don't believe in the truth, truth 'Cause all of my life's built on lies, woo! So I ran 'til I couldn't And I screamed 'til my voice was gone I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why Yeah, I ran 'til I couldn't And I screamed 'til my voice was gone I believed what I shouldn't have I'm trying to get my feet off the ground But these memories are nothing to me, just salt in the wound
