[Verse 1] My skull is a shell On a chalk-white shore The tide keeps tabs Like it’s been here before I wear this hush Like a second coat A glass little chapel With the moon in tow [Pre-Chorus] And I shake, then shine Like a match in wind One eye on the seam One eye giving in [Chorus] White salt sky, white salt sky I hear the low hum when I ask why White salt sky, white salt sky You feel like a warning from a half-lit sign (white salt sky) [Verse 2] The moon is a hook On a velvet thread Lifting the night By the hem of its head I’m one small echo In a tin-can ring A crooked little chorus With a bell that rings [Pre-Chorus] And I bend, then bloom Like a wire lit bright Half made of shiver Half made of light [Chorus] White salt sky, white salt sky I hear the low hum when I ask why White salt sky, white salt sky You feel like a warning from a half-lit sign (white salt sky) [Bridge] If the edge is a door Then I’m the latch If the fear is a spark Then the wonder catches I drift through the blue Like a coin in silk What gives me the shivers Also makes me think [Final Chorus] White salt sky, white salt sky I hear the low hum when I ask why White salt sky, white salt sky You pull me close without saying my name White salt sky, white salt sky A silver seam in a sleeve of night (white salt sky)
