Salt and Shadow

Intro

I came here to disappear

I came here to forget my name

Let the dark take what it wants from me

Let it take everything

Verse 1

I walked until the lights forgot my name

Until the weight slipped off my shoulders like dead skin

The tide kept speaking in a tongue I almost knew

And the night asked nothing of me

Pre-Chorus

No voices left to follow

No maps left to burn

Only the black water

And the sound of my own leaving

Chorus

Leave me where the salt can find me

Leave me where the dark still knows my shape

I am not lost I am only empty

And the empty is finally mine

Verse 2

Footprints vanish faster than the thoughts I carried

Every step erases another borrowed face

The wind unwrites the names I used to answer to

And I let them sink without a sound

Pre-Chorus

No voices left to follow

No maps left to burn

Only the black water

And the sound of my own leaving

Chorus

Leave me where the salt can find me

Leave me where the dark still knows my shape

I am not lost I am only empty

And the empty is finally mine

Final Chorus

Leave me where the salt can find me

Leave me where the dark still knows my shape

I am not lost I am only empty

And the empty is finally mine

Outro

The tide takes what it wants

And I give it everything
