Lyrics

[Verse 1 – Layne-style lead, clean guitar with reverb]

I wore the names they carved in clay

Carried their crowns, let mine decay

Spoke in tongues to silence the storm

But the flood don’t care what shape you’re born

[Chorus – Layne & Jerry harmony]

Break me down to salt and stone

I’m more shadow than I’ve ever shown

If I’m lost, don’t bring me home

Let the wild winds make me known

[Verse 2 – full band, sludgy and slow]

Bled through gold just to feel like skin

Lit the match when the light grew thin

I built a church out of broken bone

But the hymns were mine, and I sang alone

[Chorus – stronger harmony, more drums]

Break me down to salt and stone

I’m more shadow than I’ve ever shown

If I’m lost, don’t bring me home

Let the wild winds make me known

[Bridge – Jerry solo, solemn tone]

Not every wound was meant to close

Not every name was mine to hold

We walk as ghosts in mirrored halls

Where even angels learn to crawl

[Final Chorus – full band, Layne with Jerry underneath]

Break me down to salt and stone

Plant my voice in the overgrown

If I fade, don’t mark the place

Let my silence fill the space

[Outro – Layne, soft, fading out]

No throne, no grave, no final breath...

Just the earth...

And what is left...
