Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives Lyrics

If you think you're throwing words to the wise

The first thing that you ever felt, it's sliding under your belt

To a place that smothers children

Cuts a 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 leaves no room for the living

And some of you think in loves and lovers

Death in one corner leaves a 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 touching 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 leaves no room for the living and

Some of you think in loves and lovers

Death in one corner leaves a 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 touching 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 know

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 touching only teaches you to fight

We only ever wanted to try

I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok

Alive, I'm alive, I'm the same, I'm the same

We are, yeah, we know we are

We are just looking for something

With my hands in a fist, muscle, skin, jutting bone

We never grew up, we were cut from the stone

That holds you, body and soul

We are all just looking for something
