The Words I Sing by Motherfolk Lyrics
Cursing at the silence
And holding back my tongue
'Cause no words will make a difference
Either way I come undone
So send these vessels out to sea
With each a task to call their own
But We've all boarded on these ships now
To learn they're never sailing home
I know there's no escape from what I've done
The words I sing will hardly make me your son
Ran out of trust when I ran from home to escape your name
I try to find You in these faces
I haven't felt You in these hands
Coming to the realization
You won't put up with all my plans
But if that's the way you made me
Why am I the one to blame?
'Cause I keep rising from these ashes
Just to wrestle You again
I know there's no escape from what I've done
The words I sing will hardly make me your son
Ran out of trust when I ran from home to escape your name
Will I keep torturing myself for what I can't become?
The words are burning in my throat just like a loaded gun
If I pull the trigger would call it love, or just a game?
So now I'm cursing at your silence
I'm aiming to break bones
Have you finally decided
That you are never coming home?
I know there's no escape from what I've done
The words I sing will hardly make me your son
Ran out of trust when I ran from home to escape your name
Will I keep torturing myself for what I can't become?
The words are burning in my throat just like a loaded gun
If I pull the trigger would you call it love, or just a game?
And holding back my tongue
'Cause no words will make a difference
Either way I come undone
So send these vessels out to sea
With each a task to call their own
But We've all boarded on these ships now
To learn they're never sailing home
I know there's no escape from what I've done
The words I sing will hardly make me your son
Ran out of trust when I ran from home to escape your name
I try to find You in these faces
I haven't felt You in these hands
Coming to the realization
You won't put up with all my plans
But if that's the way you made me
Why am I the one to blame?
'Cause I keep rising from these ashes
Just to wrestle You again
I know there's no escape from what I've done
The words I sing will hardly make me your son
Ran out of trust when I ran from home to escape your name
Will I keep torturing myself for what I can't become?
The words are burning in my throat just like a loaded gun
If I pull the trigger would call it love, or just a game?
So now I'm cursing at your silence
I'm aiming to break bones
Have you finally decided
That you are never coming home?
I know there's no escape from what I've done
The words I sing will hardly make me your son
Ran out of trust when I ran from home to escape your name
Will I keep torturing myself for what I can't become?
The words are burning in my throat just like a loaded gun
If I pull the trigger would you call it love, or just a game?
