Mothertongue - Twin Atlantic

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
