Taste of Salt

the truth rears its head again
bars on its cage are wearing thin
it pleads with me to let it go
the only word it hears is "no."
no longer can I disguise
the way I feel inside
anger beneath happy eyes
these books have teeth that make me bleed
but claim they're something that I need
means to an end, indeed
maybe I love the taste of salt
but I'm too scared to risk it all
'cause I come running when it calls
oh, it calls me
the taste of salt fresh on my tongue
the door closed, the curtains drawn
it feels like I've already won
but what I don't seem to get
is all the pain and the regret
that I can't swallow and forget
maybe I love the taste of salt
but I'm too scared to risk it all
'cause I come running when it calls
oh, it calls me

Self-Destructive Blues

Lord almighty, hear my prayers
You said that you would always be there
Darling, darling, hear my plea
You need to get out and get over me
Doctor, doctor, tell me the news
I’ve got the self-destructive blues
I’ve got the self-destructive blues
Oh, I’ve tried whiskey, I’ve tried gin
But these drinks won’t wash away my sin
I can’t be alone without thinking of how
My world is coming crashing down
Lord almighty, hear my prayers
You said that you would always be there
Darling, darling, hear my plea
You need to get out and get over me
Doctor, doctor, tell me the news
I’ve got the self-destructive blues
I’ve got the self-destructive blues
Maybe my mind is full
Of words that I have never said
Places that I’ve never gone
And books that I have never read
I wish I had a key
To this lock so I could spill
All these things inside my head
But chances are I never will
Lord almighty, hear my prayers
You said that you would always be there
Darling, darling, hear my plea
You need to get out and get over me
Doctor, doctor, tell me the news
I’ve got the self-destructive blues
I’ve got the self-destructive blues

The Third One

count to three, you'll land on me
the pages with the burned edges
the conflict exists in my chapter's risks
and I can't find redemption
I've tried for so long to put my fire out
but I can't seem to resist you when you come around
the flames warm my skin
but burn when my guard is down
you whisper in my ear,
"this is who you are now
oh, you'll never be someone
other than the third one."
most days I'm in my head
'cause it makes me forget
all that I promised I would be
I hate to disappoint,
but that's my sin of choice
as long as I'm not disappointing me
oh, as long as I'm not disappointing me
I've tried for so long to put my fire out
but I can't seem to resist you when you come around
the flames warm my skin
but burn when my guard is down
you whisper in my ear,
"this is who you are now
oh, you'll never be someone"
I've tried for so long to put my fire out
but I can't seem to escape you when you come around
the flames warm my skin
but burn when my guard is down
you whisper in my ear,
"this is who you are now
oh, you'll never be someone"
but maybe someday I'll be someone
oh, I know someday I'll be someone
other than the third one

sometimes I don't like you, but I love you
that's just the way it goes around
I'll make you leave, watch you go and call you back
to tell you: "I don't like you, but I love you."
sometimes i leave you, but I miss you
and I'm sorry that I didn't call
last time we talked I was fed up with it all
'cause I don't like you, but I love you
and all those times I chose to stay
just to watch you crash and burn
oh, please know that I'd gladly put the fire out
'cause I don't like you, but I love you
sometimes you make mistakes but I forgive you
even when my hands aren't clean as well
you make me laugh, but drag me through Hell and back
and that's why
I don't like you but I love you
and all those times I chose to stay
just to watch you crash and burn
oh, please know that I'd gladly put the fire out
'cause I don't like you, but I love you

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe.

Beautiful southern Gothic tunes with a psychedelic bent. A very comforting album, despite its uneasiness. Thayer is making some of the best folk music around - it's time you gave it a listen. (And, Thayer, Chicago's waiting for you...)
