Argot (Strange Tongue)

lyrics

(“‘To where you want to go.’ That sounds alright if it were not for this one, which says ‘to where you ought to go.’”
“I think we should take the road where we ought to be going.”
“Yes, but that doesn’t seem to be the same way as we want to go.”)

Open eyelids frozen, petrified
No baseline instinct to mollify
Amber, fading light; show yourself
No words to say I need your help

Cupric color with a verdant sheen
Tidal feelings from boiling seas
I’m reaching sunlight, the deep remains
Like it lives inside my veins

If I can’t speak of all I’ve seen then I’m unwound
And the waves all crash before they’ve even swelled
You’re acting fake, you’re here too late, that’s how I tell
I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found

Ever-present these meanings shifting
Inside my head even when I’m sleeping
Ever-present and everchanging
Can you hear me? Understand me?

If you won’t understand the words I speak out loud
Then this consciousness will only fizzle out
Unnerving taste, emotive state only indulgent now
I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found

(I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found)

(I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found)

Open eyelids frozen, petrified
No baseline instinct to mollify
Amber, fading light; show yourself
No words to say I need your help

Cupric color with a verdant sheen
Tidal feelings from boiling seas
I’m reaching sunlight, the deep remains
Like it lives inside my veins

Open eyelids frozen, petrified
No baseline instinct to mollify
Amber, fading light; show yourself
No words to say
I need your help
