ฟังเพลงmother tongue

作曲 : liana flores

The street beneath my feet is paved with rows of gold

Or so I'm told

The sky before my eyes is never colour grey

Or so they say

I guess I've known the truth since I was pretty young

That I never knew my mother's mother tongue

I'll fake all of my words till they point out to me

The crowds of purple orchid flowers

I can't see

I'll play along with borrowed chords until they shine

They're still not mine

I'll breathe all of these postcards in until they land

Still second-hand

She gave me half my bones and made me one my lungs

But the same cold air is filling both of them

Meanwhile a crocodile points out whats left behind

The filed of yellow daffodils you tried

But couldn't find

I've known since I was pretty young I

Never knew my mother's mother tongue

I'm putting on a smile made out of plasticine

And looking clean
