Argot (Strange Tongue)

("'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
