Salt Candy

One by one
 They fall into the ocean
 Brittle heads they populate the bay like stars
 I was once a thousand other things
 Now i'm not
 I don't understand why
 Mother, do you recognize your daughter?
 Little head so full of big ideas that die
 And i don't want you to see i'm hurting
 Maybe you already know why
 I wanted to be carried in my mother's arms
 I wanted to be buried in my mother's arms
 I wanted to be carried into the squall
 Salt candy in your mouth when you know i'm gone
 Once again
 I let the current carry me
 Moved from the woods to the brightest city streets
 Made a home of chrome and everything around me a nest
 Of rust and plasticine
 I wanted to be carried in my mother's arms
 I wanted to be buried in my mother's arms
 I wanted to be carried into the squall
 Salt candy in your mouth when you know I'm gone
