Salt

They said move now, don't ask why

Keep your head down, stay alive

Thorns biting through my feet

Every breath too loud to keep

No time given to decide

No names spoken, just the sign

Forward only, don't look back

Don't remember what you had

Not just sinners

Also my friends

Not just an inferno

But a place I lived

I must be broken

Since I cannot bend

How could I not turn

My whole world burned

You made me a lesson

I never learned

I heard a voice I used to know

Cut through dust and falling stone

Smoke still warm against my skin

Every step feels like a sin

My neck remembers more than law

My eyes move before the thought

I didn't mean to disobey

I only felt it slip away

Not just sinners

Also my friends

I must be broken

Since I cannot bend

How could I not turn

My whole world burned

You made me a lesson

I never learned

How could I not turn

My whole world burned

You made me a lesson

I never learned
