Tongues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Swallow dictation
Repeat formation
Reverse this fortune
Bring back tongue-tooth daughter
Love-struck ink runs farther
Unstuck tongues cannot regain
Love-struck ink runs farther
Unstuck tongues cannot regain
So find another way to go
So find another way to go
Fork tongue-tine
Pierce armor
Print love-struck ink runs farther
This separation
Demands six sutures there
From tongues to patient
Blood runs spit glues it down
Love-struck ink runs farther
Unstuck tongues cannot regain
Love-struck ink runs farther
Unstuck tongues cannot regain
So find another way to go
So find another way to go
Written in fracture
In leaves of entrails bled
Split trigger lip split hair
Shes bred in tongues (tongues)
Tongues cannot regain
Tongues cannot regain
Tongues cannot regain
Tongues cannot regain
