Lyric

White oceans crack beneath my feet

No waves only scars of heat

Every grain remembers rain

Every breath corrodes my name

Sky is thin like broken glass

Sun burns slow no future past

I taste time on my tongue

Bitter prayers I never sung

Maps dissolve inside my hand

Nothing here was meant to stand

Gravity pulls like old debt

This planet never learned regret

Welcome to the saltworld orbit

Where tears fossilize

Every love turns mineral

Under silent skies

If you bleed it leaves a mark

If you stay you pay the price

I’m still spinning round this truth

In the saltworld orbit

Cities made of brittle bones

White cathedrals hollow thrones

Footsteps echo then erase

History has no safe place

Mirrors show a rusted soul

I shake but never feel whole

Hope is just a lost reaction

Faith reduced to chemical fractions

Signals fail no gods reply

Even echoes here deny

I build shelter out of doubt

Waiting for the lights to burn out

Welcome to the saltworld orbit

Where tears fossilize

Every love turns mineral

Under silent skies

If you bleed it leaves a mark

If you stay you pay the price

I’m still spinning round this truth

In the saltworld orbit

I dreamed of water blue and deep

But salt keeps what it takes to keep

No forgiveness no release

Only slow accumulating peace

Say my name it cuts the air

Syllables decay somewhere

If escape is just a myth

Then let me learn to live with this

Welcome to the saltworld orbit

Hear the mountains cry

All our sins are crystallized

They will never die

I won’t beg for softer ground

I won’t pray for paradise

I will learn to breathe restraint

In the saltworld orbit

Round and round the silence holds

Alive but never whole
