F Dm
Open your mouth and out flowed
Am Gm C
Garbled, slushy streams of sonic, sonic nonsense
F Dm
With no, with no meter
Am Gm
Or no structure or no definition
C
I can isolate the phrases but they’re not making sense

F Gm
Sonic waves, they come inside
C
I can’t quite yet divide
F
The syntax syllables

Phonetic cues, I override
Linguistics all collide (aside)
Your syntax syllables

Am Bb F
From Phonemes to morphemes
Am Bb F C Dm
Mysterious as this all appears to seem
Am Bb F C Bb F
I somehow derive something meaningful

Shut your eyes and listen close
No boundaries to words we spoke
You can’t discern between

Sentences, phrases and words
Together are slurred
With nothing in between

From Phonemes to morphemes
Mysterious as this all appears to seem
I somehow derive something meaningful
