I fell into the pit of language
I fell into the pit of language
I fell into the pit of language

I fell into the pit of language
Covered in tar and words

I fell into the pit of language
I couldn’t lift myself out

I fell into the pit of language
Buried up to my waist
Words, syllables and fragments
Stammer all around

I fell into the pit of language
I fell very deep

I fell into the tar-hole of
Language and I’m sinking
I keep my mouth shut

Phonemes, molecules and fossils
All the way up to my neck
I fell into the pit of language
And I couldn’t lift myself out
I fell into the pit of language
