Salt

she will treat you like a new invention
 a fascinating kind of status symbol
 but while you're missing every second
 in the silent motion sickness
 wondering when it stops
 sitting in the bathtub watching the water drain
 she's the new girl moved in next door
 her family came out from atlanta
 but while you're busy avoiding her
 and the cautious freedom of it
 sleeping around the block
 walking in the streetlights watching the sprinklers turn on
 sitting in the bathtub watching the water drain
 she's an alchemist but no one knows this
 turning sacks of rags into fortune
 mmmm you're listening to the house settling
 when her creeping fingers find you
 holding all your breath
 hanging in the basement lost in the spiders web
 walking in the streetlights watching the sprinklers turn on
 sitting in the bathtub watching the water drain
