Salt Water Skin

[Intro]
[Verse]
The lantern hums a hollow tune
Beneath a bruised and heavy moon
I see him crawling from the foam
A version of me coming home
His eyes are glass his breath is brine
The ghost of what was once all mine
He drags his shadow up the cliff
His frozen fingers cold and stiff
[Pre-Chorus]
The tide is rising fast
The shadows start to cast
Is he the future?
Or just the past?
[Chorus]
Take the light
Burn it through the night
Are you the one who is right?
Or just a trick of sight?
Wash me out to the deep
Secrets that I couldn’t keep
Let the salt water skin
Finally let the ocean in
[Post-Chorus]
Let it in
Let it all in
(Snarl) Let it in
Just let it in
[Verse]
He stands beside the spiral stair
I feel the salt inside his hair
He wears my name like stolen gold
A story that I never told
He offers me a cold wet hand
To leave this tower on the sand
I see my face inside his stare
But there is no one really there
[Pre-Chorus]
The tide is rising fast
The shadows start to cast
Is he the future?
Or just the past?
[Chorus]
Take the light
Burn it through the night
Are you the one who is right?
Or just a trick of sight?
Wash me out to the deep
Secrets that I couldn’t keep
Let the salt water skin
Finally let the ocean in
[Bridge]
Who is the keeper?
And who is the ghost?
Who is the master?
And who is the host?
The mirror is cracking
The signal is gone
I am waiting for a dead man’s dawn
[Breakdown]
(Distorted feedback swells)
(Fuzzy bass drive)
Which one of us is real?
Which one of us can feel?
[Chorus]
Take the light
Burn it through the night
Are you the one who is right?
Or just a trick of sight?
Wash me out to the deep
Secrets that I couldn’t keep
Let the salt water skin
Finally let the ocean in
[Post-Chorus]
Let it in
Let it all in
(Snarl) Let it in
Just let it in
[Outro]
