A Heart Beating
An animal
Guess it’s getting to me
All this time spent on my own
Read the book you gave me
Well the ending sure hit home
A heart beating inside an animal
A heart beating inside an animal
All these ghosts walk through me
My regrets live in my bones
Don’t waste your breath on me
Every word sinks like a stone
A heart beating inside an animal
A heart beating inside an animal
A heart beating inside an animal
A heart beating inside an animal
A heart beating inside an animal
A heart beating

Dance In the Dark
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Caught in the ritual
It pulls you out into the night
It’s irresistible
Making the same mistakes
Lost in a dizzying display of the habitual
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
All out of grace today
And now I’m calling you too late with nothing left to say
Don’t have an answer to
Your voice just trails off in the room
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we, can't we, be just a dance in the dark
Why can’t we, can’t we, be three AM in the park
Why can’t we, can’t we, be just a dance in the dark
Why can’t we, can’t we, be three AM in the park

Love In A Vicious Way
Making it through the day
Don’t have an appetite
Love in a vicious way
Keeping you up at night
What’s with the attitude
Always ends in a fight
Taking up all of you
Love is a sacrifice
Making it through the day
Won’t get no sleep tonight
Love in a vicious way

Only You
How long
Was I waiting for you
And how long
Until we find a way through
And how long
Can this heart keep racing
All my steps trace back to you
You’re the feeling I’m chasing
Only you
I’ll wait for you
Only you
Do it for me
So go on
Fade back into the blue
Can’t go on
To the place we once knew
All along
Kept this torch burning for you
Everything I gave to you
All this for the taking
Only you
I’ll wait for you
Only you
Only you
Only you
I’ll wait for you
Only you
Do it for me
Only you
I’ll wait for you
Only you
Do it for me

Drip Drip
Loose script
Loose grip to tight grip
Soft to hard
Soft to hard jawline
Body quake
No sleep tonight
Put your hands on me
I need that feeling
Shadow shapes
Hands in the dark
Moon on flesh
On flesh, on flesh
Salty sweat
Drip drip, alright
Waves of bliss
Crash on the shoreline

2 Luv 2 Liv
You couldn’t take the records with you
You drag your suitcase through the hall
You light a candle for your sister
You hang your pictures on the wall
A chance to put it all behind you
A chance to win or lose it all
And after everything you’ve been through
You watch the winter take it all
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live
You feel a fire burning in you
Now it’s your time to show them all
And after everything you’ve been through
You are the winner, take it all
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live
Takes all that you can give
To love, to truly live

Worm Day
Can’t leave it alone
Like a scab I keep picking at you
When I reach the bone
When the feeling comes back at you
I’m here on my own
I’m counting the days without you
Call me on the phone
Tell me that you’re thinking of me
It’s fresh on the mind
It burrows down deep inside you
It rots you to the core
A wormhole to explore
(It’s all coming at you, it’s all coming at you)
I’m stuck in this place
So tired of keeping face
I lie down in the dirt beside you
I lie down in this shallow grave
So come take me home
So come take me home
You found a place
In my heart I can’t erase
The damage here is done
I take it out on everyone
It’s all coming at you
It’s all coming at you
It’s all coming at you
It’s all coming at you

Lonely Ones
This back and forth again
Alone with you, my friend
Can we just both pretend that for the night it’s never ending
This back and forth again
Another open end
Another slow descend, I thought we had an understanding
Alone with you my friend
The night it never ends
For the lonely ones
A ticket for the show
So let the seconds slow
Into a critter’s crawl, into a moment so breathtaking
Another heart standstill
A little time to kill
Before you hear your name, the curtain call, standing ovation
Turning off in the distance
All that we used to be
Fading out of existence
At the end of the dream
Turning off in the distance
All that we used to be
Fading out of existence
At the end of the dream
This back and forth again
Alone with you, my friend
Can we just both pretend that for the night it’s never ending
This back and forth again
This back and forth oh take me dancing
I wanted to be free
I wanted to be heard
I wanted to be seen
I wanted it to hurt
Turning off in the distance
All that we used to be
Fading out of existence
At the end of the dream
Turning off in the distance
All that we used to be
Fading out of existence
At the end of the dream
Turning off in the distance
All that we used to be
Fading out of existence
At the end of the dream
Turning off in the distance
All that we used to be
Fading out of existence
At the end of the dream
Turning off in the distance
All that we used to be
Fading out of existence
At the end of the dream
The night it never ends
For the lonely ones

MOTHER TONGUES Toronto, Ontario
Love In a Vicious way is the debut LP from Toronto’s Mother Tongues. A cyber-psych opus that lurks between the cerebral and feral. At moments, precious and serene; in a blink, snarling, teeth razor-sharp. The songs are charged with a sincerity and teenage sentimentalism that captures a time when everything was crucial and felt tenfold. ... more
