Salt of the Earth Lyrics

I'm not your dandelion no more

Dried weeds wrap their wreaths around my pillars of stone

You avoid me like mausoleum built from broken granite and chrome

Cause you believe in curses

I believe that things get worse

And if your prayers could be answered

I'd already be in a hearst

Deny our history

Do it superficially

Avoid me like a leper every fateful time our eyes meet

That doesn't bother me

You wear your pride so miserably

I'd rather deal with hardships then your heartless mentalities

Somehow the hand that I've been dealt

Is a one way ticket to hell

We don't choose what we become

Salt of the earth or

Just the scum

You feel some shame cause you turned me to salt

Now you can't meet my gaze like a goddamn adult

I only turned cause you screamed out my name

Yet you've seemed to forgot it when we're face to face

To you I'm a weed, I'm a hex, I am dead

Divine intervention held over your head

If you get to heaven tell Pete what I said

That you are the reason my names Xed in red

Somehow the hand that I've been dealt

Is a one way ticket to hell and

We don't choose what we become

Salt of the earth

Or just the scum

You feign pious puppet

Who made you a prophet

Christened me a whore

When you begged me for more

Now the gates are opened

So let me implore

Your bigoted takes or

How you hate thine neighbor

Why should we ignore

All your sins to explore

Somehow the hand that I've been dealt

Is a one way ticket to Hell

And we don't choose what we become

Salt of the earth or

Just the scum

Just the scum

Just the scum
