Mother Tongue
Speak to me in your mother tongue
The burden of decision
Forgives the things I've done
Absolve this wayward son
Pour oil over the water
Ignore what we've become
Speak to me
I don't want to be
The only sign to where we are
Speak to me
I seem to be
The only one who wears the scars
Speak to me in your mother tongue
Tell me how to measure
All the works you've done
The time has come and gone
Where we could be forgiven
For holding out so long
Speak to me
I don't want to be
The only sign to where we are
Speak to me
I seem to be
The only one who wears the scars
Beat my heart against the wall
These ancient stones refuse to fall
When there is nothing left at all
I'll take my heart and carry on
My broken heart and carry on
My broken heart, your mother tongue
Speak to me
I don't want to be
The only sign to where we are
Speak to me
I seem to be
The only one who wears the scars
The burden of decision
Forgives the things I've done
Absolve this wayward son
Pour oil over the water
Ignore what we've become
Speak to me
I don't want to be
The only sign to where we are
Speak to me
I seem to be
The only one who wears the scars
Speak to me in your mother tongue
Tell me how to measure
All the works you've done
The time has come and gone
Where we could be forgiven
For holding out so long
Speak to me
I don't want to be
The only sign to where we are
Speak to me
I seem to be
The only one who wears the scars
Beat my heart against the wall
These ancient stones refuse to fall
When there is nothing left at all
I'll take my heart and carry on
My broken heart and carry on
My broken heart, your mother tongue
Speak to me
I don't want to be
The only sign to where we are
Speak to me
I seem to be
The only one who wears the scars
