Motherland Lyrics - Julia Jacklin

These new lines on my face 

Spell out "girl pick up your pace, 

If you want to stay true to what your younger self would do" 

And this kink in my walk 

Makes me focus when I talk 

If I can't trust my feet, 

Then it's my tongue I choose to keep 

And I walk slow so I can read 

Let my head fall, my hips lead 

Why'd you write the words so small? 

Did you fool me, are they words at all? 

Or are you pulling down the veil 

Keeping grounded as you set my sail? 

By the time I pull it off 

All my innocence is lost

And oh I'm good, I think I'm good 

Will I be great, will I be great? 

Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love 

For his sake? 

And these new parts I now need 

To help me function, help me feed 

They are beyond my modest earnings 

Oh the girls they keep turning up the heat 

As if it's cold 

But I'm hot, too hot to hold 

I'll burn a hole right through the hull 

When will I 

Ever see the land? 

Will I ever see the land? 

Oh water can't revive me 

I need dirt in my hand 

Will I ever see the land? 

Will I ever see the land? 

Oh the ground will give me something 

I know that it can 

Photos 

See I have charm and I have sight 

And I always try and do what's right 

But I have faults you know it's true 

Especially when it comes to treating you well 

I will work when all my thoughts are mine again 

See I was sure at the start, turns out I tried too hard 

And oh I'm good, I think I'm good 

Will I be great, will I be great? 

Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love 

For his sake? 

When will I 

Ever see the land? 

Will I ever see the land? 

Oh water can't revive me 

I need dirt in my hand 

Will I ever see the land? 

Will I ever see the land? 

Oh the ground will give me something 

I know that it can
