[sal-lyrics-daily]

Even after being loved so well

I still don't know how to love myself

-“An Honest Mirror (Philautia)”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Death is a cold, blindfolded kiss

It is the finger pressed upon our lips

-“Emphasis”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Comfortable but not quite safe Still so vulnerable at the end of the day We're speaking up, but death has the final say

-"Want"

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Like the petals in our pockets

May we remember who we are

Unconditionally cared for

By those who share our broken hearts

—“Snow”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Let the years we're here be kind, be kind

Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide

Settle our bones like wood over time, over time

Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine

—“North”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Go ahead and laugh

Even if it hurts

Go ahead and pull the pin

—“Heart”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Now I believe, I believe that I'm ready

To forget everything that I've learned

—“Tell Me the Truth and I'll Believe It”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

There's something so strange about human nature

We get so used to the gifts that we receive

—“Mother”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Now I bear little resemblance to the king I once was

I bear little resemblance to the king I could become

—“East”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

every compass i have followed i’ve trusted and denied.

so it goes with an ever-changing definition of right.

is it the treatment of symptoms or a touch of divine?

i guess the truth is that the truth is of complex design.

—“Pacific Blues”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Be brave

Like bridges underwater,

Keeping strong beyond their time.

—“Night Must End”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

without instruction

without obstruction,

you believe.

—"Sight"

[sal-lyrics-daily]

but you and i

laughing at another joke

get to decide

what our future holds

—“Time Lies (Ludus)”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

what was flawless canvas-white,

what was kindness in our eyes

is now a blemished masterpiece,

an astigmatism life.

—“Resolve.”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

Like a moth to the flame we become helpless

To the beautiful ghost

That true love sheds

—“Ghosts”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

I wanna swim

I wanna swim to the other side of pain

I wanna give in to the mercy

The mystery of change

—“Hurt”

[sal-lyrics-daily]

And every constellation

is a fraction of God's DNA

that we were made to notice and navigate.

—"Timelapse"
