Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives Lyrics - Singles - 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 

Caught 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, use suspense in the other 

I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another 

We only ever wanted to feel you 

Two years of taction 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 leap out the body you're in 

To a land of angry soil, that swallows boys and cops or 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, use suspense in the other 

I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another 

We only ever wanted to feel you 

Two years of taction only teaches you to fight 

We only ever wanted to try 

I'll raise a glass to the and 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 respect and I will miss them 

To features night into one 

That 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 you 

Two years of taction 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 insane, I'm insane 

We are, yeah, we are, we are 

We are just sinking 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 your body and soul 

We are all just sinking for something
