"If Language Explodes" lyrics - PETER HAMMILL

And if language explodes
In our faces like shrapnel
All self-defence is blown away.

In the end this reasoning's sound:
How can we be found
If we're lost for words?

Oh, still in the search for the words...

I've said my piece,
I'll take my leave now,
Breathe not a word
Of my disarray.

Ssh.

All of the words have flown away...
