Analysis of Salt of my tears.
What's it like on earth?
The sky is filled with white clouds.
What are clouds?
Clouds are raindrops filled with salt.
What is salt?
Salt is as clear white rocks within tears.
What are tears?
Tears move us like mountain caps.
What are mountain caps?
Mountain caps are covered in snow.
What is snow?
Snow is as cold as winter.
What is winter?
Winter is as white as the angels' wings.
