Salt Sack
You pushed me out to sea today
And hoped to watch me drown
All i had was my baggage
You thought it'd weigh me down
And as i drifted out
I floated out until the raft was sinking
I gasped for air
I coughed salt water
I couldn't help but drink in
I jumped ship; you couldn't see me.
You thought i'd breathed my last
I started swimming towards the shore
From which i had been cast
I struggled back until
You were sure that i would die
But i found a strength, a will, a hate
I couldn't pacify
So i made it back
I fought back, was almost to your shore
You had something in your hands for me
A braided crown of thorns
Then i turned around
I swam away, never to look back
I'm no more the fool
Who would die and know a salt sack
Saco de Sal
Hoy me empujaste hacia el mar
Y esperabas verme ahogar
Todo lo que tenía era mi equipaje
Pensaste que me hundiría
Y mientras me alejaba
Flotaba hasta que la balsa se hundía
Jadeaba por aire
Tosí agua salada
No pude evitar beber
Abandoné el barco; tú no podías verme
Pensaste que había exhalado mi último aliento
Comencé a nadar hacia la orilla
Desde la que fui arrojado
Luché hasta regresar
Estabas seguro de que moriría
Pero encontré una fuerza, una voluntad, un odio
Que no pude aplacar
Así que regresé
Luché, casi llegaba a tu orilla
Tenías algo en tus manos para mí
Una corona trenzada de espinas
Entonces me di la vuelta
Nadé lejos, sin mirar atrás
Ya no soy el tonto
Que moriría y conocería un saco de sal
