Creature of Salt

Did what I could but it wasn’t enough
Everything isn’t OK
Nothing that hard work or patience could
Carry away
I didn’t break what’s already broken
I’m only a part of the blame
But I offer myself all the guilt and regret
Just the same
Go easy on me, I’m a creature of salt
Dissolving in front of your eyes
It’s easy for me to say it’s my fault
Than call you or carry you home
Don’t be mistaken, it’s not from compassion
It’s only a part of my plan
To fade away follow
Do just as little I can
Faith in a vacuum, disguised as a virtue
Somebody needs to, I’ll never tell you
I’m all condescension, saintly pretension
A lie
Go easy on me, creature of salt
Dissolving invisible now
It’s easy for me, say it’s my fault
Involving no one but myself
I’m miles away
