Mothertongue

I took you for granted
And stayed away for too long
I thought I couldn't stand you
Such a violent animal
Living in your darkness
It's like fighting while you're drunk

You're my Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
You're my Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue

I've been lonely
I've been holding out for days
I miss your spirit
I am more than just a name
Our blood runs deeper
Our blood runs soaked in our mistakes
They keep on pushing
Who needs the world to talk the same
Oh oh oh oh

I tried so hard to please you
Be worthy of your prize
When it's time to leave you
I'll miss your brutal skies
You'll drape out all your colours
But I'll never pick a side

You're my Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
You're my Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue

I've been lonely
I've been holding out for days
I miss your spirit
I am more than just a name
Our blood runs deeper
Our blood runs soaked in our mistakes
They keep on pushing
Who needs the world to talk the same
Oh oh oh oh
Who needs the world to talk the same
Oh oh oh oh
Who needs the world to talk the same

Because you're my Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
You're my Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
My Mother Tongue
