Salt of the Earth

A song about getting back to basics and finding the source.

Enough!

Is this really what they expect of me?

Do I really need to be for them?

It’s like I’ve no sovereignty.

 

And I don’t know why or how

But I have the urge to answer.

I know some truth lies within

But I feel like I’m a lie,

 

Because I’m trying but its not giving,

I worked so hard but I’m not winning.

Try to find faith

But my mind’s obsessed with sinning.

 

Chorus

And if after a while you get tired

And you start to lose your nerve.

Find peace living

With the salt of the earth.

 

I tried to find my patience

And tap that source within

Where daily cultivation

Took me empty to the void.

 

The conscious mind

Floating like a concept in a stream.

Filtered,

In the sand trap set for them.

 

Hear it in the silence.

When the soft takes the hard.

Noise, and it’s antithesis.

Fighting for a voice.
