Mothertongue by My Eyes Fall Victim Lyrics

White knuckle grip
But I don't know
Am I clinging to this life
Or am I being dragged behind?

War of attrition fought alone
I ground my fingers to the bone
What if I gave everything to this
And I got nothing back?

What was it all for?
What was it all for?
Empty notions, pointless chords
What was it all for?

I lost my self and went without it
Every breath I took was trapped inside my lungs
(Trapped inside my lungs)
I heard a voice inside my head
And now I shout it
(And now I shout it)
It has followed me so far from where I've come
My mothertongue
I saw it all undone
(All undone)
Torn apart what was once was one
I saw it all undone
By calloused hearts and idle hands
An orphanеd child
I speak the mothertonguе

Shouldn't I have known
(When I was on my own)
Your voice could be
(The noise that brings me home)
When I was on my own
(Shouldn't I have known)
Shouldn't I have known
I tied myself to this
I staked my life on this, I know

(I know)
This is the sinking ship I poured my heart in
But I still carry on the only way I know

What was it all for?
What was it all for?
All for what, was it all for?
All for what?
All for what?
All for what?
