Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives Lyrics
If you think you're throwing words to the wise,
the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Cuts the 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 taking and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves no 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 taking and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner, leaves no 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 bein' 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 love 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
I'm 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 our hands, and our fists, muscles, skin, thumb, and bone
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone
That holds your body and soul
We are all just looking for something
the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Cuts the space between two lives
You've got a delicate heart, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives
The taking and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner leaves no 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
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
The taking and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner, leaves no 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
Raise some question to the rule who says you'd have to lose a love to find one
Take the things you don't love 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 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
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone
That holds your body and soul
We are all just looking for something

I don't think he's saying 'taction' either.. Isn't it 'touching'?
It's definitely taction, with strong significance.

Frickin Amazing Song.
this song is awesome.
yep, absolutely amazing
also, i beleive "I'll raise a glass to the and no one else's fool" should be "I'll raise a glass to bein' no one else's fool"
i also believe it's "that swallows boys and coughs up men"
its a washing machine torment. feels a lot like a struggle, but its beautiful.
i think these lyrics are way off, but maybe im just hearing them wrong. i thought it was -cuts the space between two lives -death in one corner leaves a space in the other -we only ever wanted to feel real -you'll be cruel to the touch, you'll lose the body you're in -take the things you don't know spread them out in the sun/ two futures melt into one (im almost positive about this one) -im the same, im the same (not sure) -we are just looking for something (not sure about this one!)
these are kind of hard to get though...
in conclusion, this song is crazy good
Death in one corner leaves suspects in the other,
i went by what i heard, going over several times over several spots. so yeah there's bound to be some errors. if you guys have suggestions, please repost the FULL lyric and i will replace it. thanks.
