Gematria
Salt and Ashes
My room's a mess,
The rain is falling
Falling down, falling down
It's twenty past one and
Not a soul is calling
I'm falling down, falling down

Salt and ashes
On my floor
Salt and ashes
Is that what i traded you for

It's been a half a year
Since I last saw you
Seems so long seems so long
Now you're like frost,
I could never thaw you
Seems so long, baby seems so long

Salt and ashes
On my bed
Salt and ashes
Covering my head

I said I'd try
But desire raped me
It seemed so real, seemed so real
And the reasons why,
Well they escape me
They seemed so real, semed so real

Salt and ashes
Are all I see
Salt and ashes
Raining down on me

I'd sweep them all away
But i guess they soothe me
They take me down, take me down
They're poison sweet
But they don't fool me
They take me down, take me down

Salt and ashes
Barren as my heart
Salt and ashes
Since we've been apart
Since we've been apart sweet darling
