lyrics

I will speak with broken words,
and I will sing until it hurts,
and I won't let this meaning die in me.

Stasis is an illusion here,
the shifting of the signs appear
and call us back to re-assess the night.

I've given up on language, then,
the call response and take and send,
so arbitrary, cold, and warm, and free.

There's so much to life outside,
the boundaries and categories,
I feel the need to sing, to call, to crow.

So I will speak with broken words,
and I will sing until it hurts, and
I won't let this meaning die in me.

I will speak with terse remarks,
and I will sing until it hurts, and
I won't let these meanings die in me.
