SALT (2010), The Locals

1. Sound it out

Sigh, from deep inside and if you can hide it you are better than me
(and if dont shake you, bust you out into a million pieces)
Time, still spinning time,
like cotton candy sticking on your lips,
until one kiss.
And if you can taste it, count yourself out
lucky to be living, yeah.

I've got a picture and it proves that I'm not sleeping.
So many night sweats and it proves that I'm not sleeping.
I'm on the verge of something else not just dreaming of this.

Sound it out, oh fill your eyes.
It just dont matter there's nothing good to say.
And drink it down, spit it out,
then look yourself up right there in the eye.
And if you dont blink there count yourself out lucky to living,
too much to believe in, so much to be living yeah.

Sound it out, we all just sound it out.
Sound it out, we all just sound it out.

2. Amnesia

i'm trying to get my mind right
in a double life with half the insight
and my imagination's shot.
you show me everything you got
and I am over, yeah overcome
I am over, yeah overcome

You're crying I'll suck the poison out
a double shot;
We'll figure it all out and my imagination's shot
You show me everything you got
and I am over, yeah overcome
I am over, yeah overcome

I'm trying to get my mind right.
I'm trying to get my mind right.
I'm trying to get my mind right.

And I am over, yeah overcome
I am over, yeah overcome
It's only better, it's only better
It's only better, it's only better when you get closer
It's only better amnesia.

And I am over, yeah overcome
I am over, yeah overcome
I'm trying to get my mind right.

3. Everything must go

Sit here on fire on the shelf, never look back, never tell anybody else.
That house it never looked the same, so beautiful engulfed in flames.

Missed every second of this day, emailed myself some shit and let it slip away.
Each second glance is worth it's wait.
Hold you up to the light dont recognize the face...
and I should.

It's only now.
It's only now.
It's only now.

These 4 white walls I'll trash them all.
Dancing like dust then settle down around your feet.
It's all a fall from grace.
You've seen it now, face to face, face this place....
Like i should

It's only now.
It's only now.
It's only now I see you.

Gone inside yourself.
You never thought you'd see in someone else
the glimmer of the moon up on the waves
crash landing in a sea of lost sunlight that someone left behind.

It's only now.
It's only now.
It's only now.
You see things like I should.
It's always something good.

4. Away from here

I've lost some things
I dont miss most of them
This bird cant sing.
nod my head and pretend.
oh well, oh well, oh well

I shoulda lied.
i shoulda pushed you over
gone right inside two steps and then it's over
oh well, oh well, oh well
oh well, oh well, oh well

Too many cares, you cant take me anywhere
I need a jet plane
To take me far from here
oh well, oh well, oh well

I shoulda lied.
i shoulda pushed you over
gone right inside two steps and then it's over
oh well, oh well, oh well
oh well, oh well, oh well

Innocent till proven, caught on the silver screen
And i could keep moving, but i should be sinking like a stone
oh well, oh well, oh well

oh well, oh well, oh well
oh well, oh well, oh well

I need a jet plane
I need a jet plane
I need a jet plane
I need a jet plane.
