[Verse 1] Shaking hands split the seal Lips tear open the salted meal Fingernails shred plastic skin Fistfuls vanish - purge begins Veins pulled taut like rusted wire Tongue a slab, throat on fire Heartbeat hammers from within Sweat pours out, I feed again [Chorus] Salt grinding nerves to powder Each bite, the pressure louder Crave the sting, ignore the signs Salted death, dressed in brine [Verse 2] Urine burns like lye and steam Pulse deformed, a stuttering scream Teeth crack down on roasted husk Hands don’t stop in fevered dusk Doctor's voice-some buried plea: "Keep this up, you'll die on your knees" But the bag stays split, the oath long gone Between want and dusk, I chew till dawn [Chorus] Salt grinding nerves to powder Each bite, the pressure louder Crave the sting, ignore the signs Salted death, dressed in brine [Bridge] Throat clogs thick with copper tang Taste buds rot, but still they sang Stomach reels, mouth goes dry Still I swallow - don’t know why [Breakdown] Salt-scabbed lips, a bloated tongue Heartbeat drowned - the craving strong Numb on tile, pupils blown Fingers twitch - I’m not alone [Final Chorus] Salt grinding nerves to powder Each bite, the pressure louder Body quits, the mind still whines Salted death - the taste divine
