Mothers， Sisters， Daughters - Voxtrot

If you think you're throwing words to the wise
The first thing that you ever felt
Inside and under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Cuts the space between two lives
I've seen you working
Wasted and gray
You've got a delicate heart
And listen
You would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers
Sisters
Daughters and wives
Listen
I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves no space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of tension only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try
And if you see this world as ugly and thin
Then you'll be so cruel to the touch
You'll lose the body you're in
To a land of angry soil
That swallows boys and coughs up men
I've seen you taste the salt of your tears
You always stop when you start
And listen
You would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers
Sisters
Daughters and wives
Listen
I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves no space in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of tension only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try
I'll raise a glass to being no one else's fool
Raise some question to the rule
Who says you'd have to lose a love to find one
Take the things you don't love
Spread them out in the sun
Two futures melt into one
Who says you have to lose a love to find one
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel real
Two years of tension only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try
I'm around
I'm around
I'm ok
I'm ok
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm the same
I'm the same
We are
Yeah
We are
We are
We are just looking for something
With our hands
And our fists
Muscles
Skin
Thumb
And bone
We never grew up
We were cut from the stone
That holds you
Body and soul
We are all just looking for something
