Lyrics

The Linguist

You were a linguist And I’m sure you know When I choked on all the utensils I held in my throat A wired jaw Shears to my tongue I went home silent And pulled down The eyelid screen A highlight reel Puts you back with me Before I fall asleep Before I fall asleep Oooooh Oooooh And I was a skeleton Poorly dressed Gauze on my knuckles Your hands pressed Like a bandage to my palms My mouth is a wound [?] in red [?] [?] As I’m being shot again It’s no comfort for [?]
