Grain of Salt (What’s the Use of Having a Heart) lyrics
by Poison the Well
[Intro]
I don't know how it feels?
Do you think you're the only person on Earth who wakes up every morning wishing they were someone else?
[Verse 1]
Another day passes by
Another attempt at love
Remains unrequited
Why do I even bother?
[Chorus]
I should have learned from the past
I am, I am but a statue
Impervious to love
This punctured heart of mine
Becomes a handful of dust
Dust, dust, dust
Hope has now wilted away
Wilted
[Bridge]
Along with these dreams
That became emptiness
As the razor draws closer
I am self-destructive
A product of this solitude
I am riddled with shards
One simple wish now dies
Was my request so great?
[Refrain]
One simple wish now dies, one simple wish now dies
One simple wish now dies, was my request so great?
One simple wish now dies, one simple wish now dies
One simple wish now dies, was my request so great?
[Verse 2]
Once again, I drown in this denial
Was it so complicated?
Once again, I've been spit upon
Taken with a grain of salt
My life is gone
[Bridge]
Along with these dreams
That became emptiness
As the razor draws closer
I am self destructive
A product of this solitude
I am riddled with shards
One simple wish now dies
Was my request so great?
[Chorus]
I should have learned from the past
I am, I am but a statue
Impervious to love
This punctured heart of mine
Becomes a handful of dust
Dust, dust, dust
Hope has now wilted away
Wil-wil-wilted
