Salt Lyrics by Elliot Root

The Uncanny Valley

2021

[Verse 1]
I take one breath
World moves fast underneath my step
I feel my chest
Sometimes I lose the rhythm and I don't need rest
I don’t think I've slept for days
I've been hung up on these fucked up ways
We’ve all got plans
Should we leave it all behind?
Find the water where it meets the sea?

[Chorus]
My lips are burning from salt on your body
The weight of it all crashing down upon me
I don't know how but I'm with you
Somehow the way the light hits you
Don't let me out of my body
Colorful motions surround me

[Verse 2]
Beneath lit skies
Caught searching for an alibi
Still miss you friend
Somewhere further up at the [?]
Look at you, you are not defined
In the space that they all reside
Standing up
Gravity weighing down
Traveling quietly
Reckoning what can break my mind

[Chorus]
My lips are burning from salt on your body
The weight of it all crashing down upon me
I don't know how but I'm with you
Somehow the way the light hits you
Don't let me out of my body
Colorful motions surround me
Don't let me out of my body
Colorful motions surround me
Don’t let me out of my body
Colorful motions surround me

[Bridge]
I’m always in over my head, over my head
I'm always in over my head, over my head
I’m always in over my, over my head

[Chorus]
My lips are burning from salt on your body
The weight of it all crashing down upon me
I don't know how but I'm with you
Somehow the way the light hits you
Don't let me out of my body
Colorful motions surround me
Ooh
Ooh
