When will you understand
These scars don't ever go away
Under this bed of sand

You carve the words inside my brain
Everynight I'm packed up tight now, dry me out
Hung up high now, air it out
But when I feel like I'm in doubt
My momma told me what to say
Pass the salt across the room, let me fill this empty wound
Pass the salt across the room, I've got nothing left to prove
Pass the salt across the room, let me fill this empty wound
Pass the salt across the room, I've got nothing
Nothing left to prove
I've got nothing
Nothing left to prove
When will you understand
These marks were never meant to fade
Under the iron brand
You burn the words inside my veins
Everynight you break me down and mix me up
Spice it right now, fry it up
But when I feel like giving up
This is my only prayer
Pass the salt across the room, let me fill this empty wound
Pass the salt across the room, I've got nothing left to prove
Pass the salt across the room, let me fill this empty wound
Pass the salt across the room, I've got nothing
Nothing left to prove
I've got nothing
Nothing left to prove
Pass the salt across the room, let me fill this empty wound
Pass the salt across the room, I've got nothing left to prove
Pass the salt across the room, let me fill this empty wound
Pass the salt across the room, I've got nothing
Nothing left to prove
