Mewithoutyou "A Glass Can Only Spill What it Contains" |
a cat came drifting, on my porch from the outside cold, and with eyes closed drinking, warm milk from my bowl, thought: nobody hears me (x2) 'cause I crept in so soft and nobody sees me nobody sees me as I watched six steps off, like, the peacocks wandering, the walkways of the zoo who have twice the autonomy the giraffes and the tigers do, saying: no one can stop me (x2) no one clips my claws now everyone watch me everyone watch me scale these outside walls oh, you pious and profane, put away your praise and blame, "a glass can only spill what it contains" To the perpetually plain and the incurably inane a glass can only spill what it contains what new mystery is this? what blessed backwardness? the Immeasurable One is held and does not resist! struck by wicked words and foolish fists of senseless men the Almighty One does not defend! I was halfway listening, to what she thinks she knows, We're like children dressing, in our parents' clothes, saying: Nobody knows me, (x2) No one knows my name, Nobody knows me (x2) (nobody knows me) I half-heartedly explained but gave up peacefully ashamed as a glass can only spill what it contains we went to Portugal and Spain and in her mind the entire time it rained! a glass can only spill what it contains what new mystery is this? overflowing emptiness the Invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist, before my doubting eyes the Infinite appears in time - the Unquestionable is question but makes no reply! what new mystery is this?! (x5) "my Rabbi!" my lips betray with a kiss what new mystery is this? Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
