A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains - MeWithoutYou[00:00:00]
Written by:Brad Wood[00:00:01]
A cat came drifting onto my porch from the outside cold[00:00:24]
And with eyes closed drinking warm milk from my bowl[00:00:31]
Thought[00:00:38]
Nobody hears me nobody hears me[00:00:39]
As I crept in so soft[00:00:43]
And nobody sees me nobody sees me[00:00:46]
As I watched six steps off[00:00:51]
Like peacocks wandering the walkways of the zoo[00:00:54]
Who have twice the autonomy the giraffes and the tigers do[00:01:01]
Saying[00:01:08]
No one can stop me no one can stop me[00:01:09]
No one clips my claws[00:01:13]
Now everyone watch me everyone watch me[00:01:16]
Scale these outside walls[00:01:21]
Oh you pious and profane[00:01:23]
Put away your praise and blame[00:01:26]
Said a glass can only spill what it contains[00:01:28]
To the perpetually plain the incurably inane[00:01:31]
A glass can only spill what it contains[00:01:36]
What new mystery is this[00:01:39]
What blessed backwardness[00:01:41]
The immeasurable one is held and does not resist[00:01:42]
Struck by wicked words and foolish fists of senseless men[00:01:46]
The almighty one does not defend[00:01:50]
I was halfway listening to what she thinks she knows[00:01:55]
We're like children dressing in our parents clothes[00:02:02]
Saying[00:02:08]
Nobody knows me nobody knows me[00:02:09]
No one knows my name[00:02:14]
Nobody knows me nobody knows me[00:02:17]
No nobody knows me[00:02:21]
I half heatedly explained[00:02:23]
But gave up peacefully ashamed[00:02:26]
A glass can only spill what it contains[00:02:28]
We went to Portugal and Spain[00:02:31]
And in her mind the entire time it rained[00:02:33]
A glass can only spill what it contains[00:02:36]
What new mystery is this[00:02:39]
In overflowing emptiness[00:02:41]
The invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist[00:02:43]
Before my doubting eyes the infinite appears in time[00:02:46]
The unquestionable is questioned but makes no reply[00:02:50]
What new mystery is this[00:02:53]
What new mystery is this[00:02:55]
What new mystery is this[00:02:57]
What new mystery is this[00:02:59]
What new mystery is this[00:03:01]
My rabbi[00:03:03]
My lips betray with a kiss[00:03:04]
What new mystery is this[00:03:06]
