To Tide Us Over (mouth)

Maybe your tongue's a ruddy seafloor
 Buried in its night
 Just shy of the constellations you guide by
 Whispers of light
 Beneath the surface of sound sayings
 Mirroring their time
 What you mean to say burns silent as starshine
 Clear each night above the noisy city in your mind
 (Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
 (Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time
 ♪
 Sounding out the shapes
 Now of your most beautiful dreams
 The speaker inside you stands to deliver the unseen
 Send up words to tide us over
 Bubbles in the flood
 From our new Atlantis somewhere beneath the sea of blood
 I'm diving now to meet you
 We can dance beneath the flagless moon
 (Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
 (Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time
 ♪
 Finally the tide has come to lick away
 Scars all chewed into the land
 Rising out the sea your words shine
 Haloing the jagged rocks of splashing man
 Chewing scars into the land
 Rising out the sea your words shine finally
 The tide has come
