Salt Candy - Half Waif

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
