Dyin' Tongues

People used to talk talk talk,
Like that.
"Ni ne paroladi."
Nothin' more sad than a dead language.

"Notres Langues Nous Trompent"
Don't mean what we goddam say.
But they used to talk like we used to
talk.
¡Dime la verdad jodido!

But we don't talk like that no more
(NO MORE!)
And there's a reason
(HAY! HAY!)

Let's overstep our bounds,
Find a way to say something new.
Yo quería decirte..
Meant to say a lot more than

But even as we speak,
We deceive.
Languages died because they gave up.
Couldn't keep it up.
Wouldn't keep it up.

Ellos se dieron cuenta de que sus lenguas no podían mentir más.
Que ellos no podían comprender sus propias palabras.
That they didn't have enough time to cover it up.

And they gave up.
