[Intro: Cosmic synth pads, vocoder, building orchestral strings] Let the Salt Stay [Verse 1] I found a pebble in the hem of my coat, carried it home like a small untold note. It did not shine. It did not explain. It only knew how to remain. [Pre-Chorus] And that was enough to teach my hands the shape of keeping what I can't command. [Chorus] Let the salt stay in the pocket, stay Let the salt stay it has earned its place [Verse 2] The door remembers every one of us. The floorboards age by the weight of trust. A cup can crack and still hold rain. A wound can close and keep the name. [Pre-Chorus] And I, too, am a borrowed house, full of small weather, full of mouse-soft vows. [Chorus] Let the salt stay in the pocket, stay Let the salt stay it has earned its place [Bridge] Maybe wisdom is more than flame, it's the trace that refuses to leave the frame. Maybe what's deepest is not below— it is the grain that we let show. [Chorus] Let the salt stay in the pocket, stay Let the salt stay it has earned its place
