Mother’s Tongue

Words you're scared to mouth

Hidden in your lungs

Tears in leather bags

Whisper in mother tongues

Mum, you faked a smile

But I've known for a while

Don't need to forgive you

For something you don't mean to do

Dragon in your soup

Breathing the heartache

Educate the aunts

You can talk to me, it's not too late

Mum, you faked a smile

But I've known for a while

Don't need to forgive you

For something don't mean to do
