[Verse 1]
I'm the antiseptic
Your body rejected
You couldn't accept me

I'm the salt in the wound
I can never be soothed
Like a black out of bruises

[Chorus]
'Cause we're only strangers
Stuck in a cage of salt
To take the pain away

[Verse 2]
In the back of your head
There's a cloud of neglect
Full of doubt and regret
And repressed semantics
I know you're right
But I can't shake this spite
Repress the other side
Awake all night

[Chorus]
'Cause we're only strangers
Stuck in a cage of salt
To take the pain away
And they're only rumours
Made to confuse us all
To stay another day

Anywhere I'll never let it stop
Wake me up before the morning comes
Anywhere I'll never let it stop
