It's not till you're deprived that you can really love something Anyone who has gone to a foreign speaking country can understand this the words being spoken are stripped of all meaning to you Then you go home and there's no more translating or confusion You understand When you touch me I understand I sense every subtle advance and fight to deny subjectiveness But your language is too convincing, too poetic and I melt under your finger tips they trace the trails of my silent desires in pursuit of the never ceasing void The black hole that never stops consuming because there can never be enough Fill me with pages and pages more than a million libraries If not you, then perhaps the next This is my language and you speak it so well Then one day I'm stranded Tens of thousands of years it seems on a desert island where the islanders don't speak the same language as I do But one day I'm rescued and able to speak to the rescuer It clicks back so easily and there is a deep appreciation for dialogue after being deprived Now talk me to sleep as your hands roll across my back like the tide Tell me what I Need to get me by before I'm stranded once more

Love Language
It's not till you're deprived that you can really love something Anyone who has gone to a foreign speaking country can understand this the words being spoken are stripped of all meaning to you Then you go home and there's no more translating or confusion You understand When you touch me I understand I sense every subtle advance and fight to deny subjectiveness But your language is too convincing, too poetic and I melt under your finger tips they trace the trails of my silent desires in pursuit of the never ceasing void The black hole that never stops consuming because there can never be enough Fill me with pages and pages more than a million libraries If not you, then perhaps the next This is my language and you speak it so well Then one day I'm stranded Tens of thousands of years it seems on a desert island where the islanders don't speak the same language as I do But one day I'm rescued and able to speak to the rescuer It clicks back so easily and there is a deep appreciation for dialogue after being deprived Now talk me to sleep as your hands roll across my back like the tide Tell me what I Need to get me by before I'm stranded once more
