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

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)

(This new tongue you've found)

(This new tongue you've found)

(This new tongue you've found)

(This new tongue you've found)

(This new tongue you've found)

(This new tongue you've found)

(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
