lyrics

The sounds of the words
Are the same as they were then
But they fail to describe the inexpressible
They can't spell out the incomprehensible

Trying to remember what we said
How we said it
What all those words really meant
What the purpose of our exchanges was
Or even who we were

Recalling life through a dead language
A foreigner in my own history

Where does time go?

A picture, a sentence, a movie clip
Futile attempts to make permanent
And memory is a distortion

Like grasping for it in the dark
But there never was a sun
There never was a breeze through the trees
There never was a human touch
Where are our conversations?
Where is 1988?
There never was
Dead language
There only is
Dead language
I can't hear it
Dead language

Wrong definitions
The context has shifted
The words are ghosts
