Mother tongue

I speak that language

There are no words

But there is meaning

My secret love song

My eyes swell

I'm free



Mother tongue

Never betrayed me

Inhale your life

One more breath

I'm dancing

Lacking wings

Still I can fly from you



I could lose everything

Surrendering to you

Like praying to a god

Who doesn't even want to know you



Mother tongue

Today I curse you

Where is my voice

Have I lost my virtue

How much more can I sacrafice for you



I could lose everything

Surrendering to you

Like praying to a god

Who doesn't even want to know you



Down on my knees for you

Your hands crawling through my hair

I forgot to be cautious here

Finally I cry

I cry



I could lose everything

Surrendering to you

Like praying to a god

Who doesn't even want to know you
