Mother Tongue

Bad guy, my mother tongue sends me off
Into moonlight, where I learnt to run before I walk
Into hungry eyes wondering, tell me 'bout your suffering
I can see it now, shunned as they sharpen their tongues

Well, I can be my own shapeshifter
Saving face while I'm walking with ya
Teach me how to learn the scripture
Well, I could be the perfect mixture
Seasons change with my skin
It's been years since l've been hiding
Which way is up? Which one is home?
Now that I'm here, I'm all alone

Bad guy, oh-oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh no
Bad guy

Bad guy, I must confess the error was my
Birthright, leaves me undressed with nowhere to hide
Maybe if I'd known then, I'd buy myself a new disguise
But nothing seems to fit when I'm squeezing into your script

Well, I can be my own shapeshifter
Saving face while I'm walking with ya
Teach me how to learn the scripture
Well, I could be the perfect mixture
Seasons change with my skin
It's been years since l've been hiding
Which way is up? Which one is home?
Now that I'm here, I'm all alone

Bad guy, oh-oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh no
Bad guy, no

Maybe I exist too much, tell me, am I not enough?
I can be my own damnation
Someone better give me some salvation
Well, maybe I exist too much, tell me, am I not enough?
I can be my own damnation
Someone better give me some salvation

Well, I can be my own shapeshifter
Saving face while I'm walking with ya
Teach me how to learn the scripture
Well, I could be the perfect mixture
Seasons change with my skin
It's been years since l've been hiding
Which way is up? Which one is home?
Now that I'm here, I'm all alone, oh

Bad guy, oh-oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh no
Bad guy, yeah
