American Sign Language (ASL) is the predominant sign language of deaf communities in the United States and most of anglophone Canada. Besides North America, dialects of ASL and ASL-based creoles are used in many countries around the world, including much of West Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. ASL is also widely learned as a second language, serving as a lingua franca. ASL is most closely related to French Sign Language (LSF). It has been proposed that ASL is a creole language, although ASL shows features atypical of creole languages, such as agglutinative morphology.
ASL originated in the early 19th century in the American School for the Deaf (ASD) in Hartford, Connecticut, from a situation of language contact. Since then, ASL use has propagated widely via schools for the deaf and deaf community organizations. Despite its wide use, no accurate count of ASL users has been taken, though reliable estimates for American ASL users range from 250,000 to 500,000 persons, including a number of children of deaf adults. ASL users face stigma due to beliefs in the superiority of oral language to sign language, compounded by the fact that ASL is often glossed in English due to the lack of a standard writing system.

I said (I said), I saw it coming (I saw it coming)
Where did you see it? Where did you see it?(x2)
Why are you panting baby?
Is it to hard to keep up with what you said?
From the outskirts of common sense this is extremely uncommon.(anonymous voices; anonymous voices)
So many lights ahead, if only we kept our eyes open.
But now I understand that even if I was blind I could have clearly seen how filthy you really are.(x2)
Sure.
It would have been an excellent story,
but I had to get up off the train.
Get up, jump off with me, hold my hand and I'll explain everything.
If only it was that easy story teller.
Would you mind never speaking to me again?
I would like for you to remain a myth
( close the book burn it up)
Tell me another lie,
That it's all going to be ok,
eating up every word you say,
It's starting to taste good.
I haven't heard one thing you have said;
this whole time you were talking
I was to busy picturing you dead.(x2)
(Incoherent)
If I were to end abruptly, would it leave you wanting more?
