Grain Of Salt Lyrics - Singles - Coalesce

So shallow, not even an infant 

Could drown within this compassion 

But I feel as if I've drowned just the same 

But rather from my ignorance 

That unconditional love might exist 

I forgot the numbness, I forgot the frustration 

That makes up my daily routine of just getting by 

I am just barely getting by emotionally 

Judgment, disappointment, a lack of patience for me 

This is not security but such a pretty package 

The guise is broken as the truth rears it's ugly head unto me 

A drunken soul, I'm conscious again, I've weakened from my stupor 

For the last time, so content caressed in rejection 

For it's all that love has ever led to once again 

The dying man lays down the law for this peon 

It's his last grasp at control, a control that he lost 

In infidelity from today, to you I'm dead 

As an order accepting son, your searching and searching 

But your family isn't at the bottom of any bottle
