Mother Tongue
Canon Blue
One lie is the same as another

I was bitten by a bug and I
Swelled up like a balloon


Paralyzed no motor functions

I looked up peeling back my eyelids

And suddenly there was you


When the words come

Creeping out like spiders


My words are turning on eachother

Looking for some sort of cover
To rest my mouth


Butterflies churning in the stomach

Reach out for something that could nourish

A bottle then met my hand


When the words come creeping out like spiders

And leave their tangled webs inside


Who got bit by the mother tongue

You got bit by the mother tongue

And I step out to find my way
I could run I could stay
I could say a million things

But it wouldn't matter now

No it wouldn't matter now
