Salt In The Wound
Salt In The Wound
Here I stand
waiting for relief
waiting for the calm
to soothe our hearts
and end this grief
Here I stand
with no directions on how to make it stop
waiting for the war
to end it all
It's our little grave
and the salt in our wounds
the loved ones you wish you could save
the day you look to
to cleanse all your mistakes
Here we are
right back where we began
waiting for redemption
with open arms
I want to hold all of you
but not all is what you've given
Here we are
just like before
waiting for the rainbow
waiting for sunny skies
I stand waiting for your hand
in the eye of the storm
because I didn't want to
but I already have
put you in this little grave
the salt in the wounds  
can't you see my white flag?
I have given up
I have let you go
I have tried to help
expressing every emotion I could show
I have cried and pleaded
been down on my knees
begged for you to see reason
but all you held was the salt
slowly it continues to fall from your hand
and right into my wound....
