Mewithoutyou - A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains lyrics
rate meA cat came drifting onto my porch from the outside cold<br />
And with eyes closed, drinking warm milk from my bowl,<br />
Thought:<br />
<br />
"nobody hears me!(nobody hears me)<br />
As I crept in so soft!<br />
And nobody sees me!(nobody sees me)<br />
As I watched six steps off."<br />
<br />
Like the peacocks wandering the walkways of the zoo<br />
Who have twice the autonomy the giraffes and the tigers do,<br />
Saying:<br />
<br />
"no one can stop me,(no one can stop me)<br />
No one clips my claws!<br />
Now everyone watch me(everyone watch me)<br />
Scale these outside walls!"<br />
You took the puous and profane,<br />
Turned around the praise and blame,<br />
Said "a glass can only spill what it contains"<br />
To the perpetually plain and the incurably inane<br />
A glass can only spill what it contains<br />
<br />
What new mystery is this?<br />
What blessed backwardness??<br />
The Immeasurable One is held and does not resist!<br />
Struck by wicked words and foolish fists of senseless men<br />
The Almighty One does not defend!<br />
<br />
I was halfway listening to what she thinks she knows<br />
We're like children dressing in our parents' clothes, saying:<br />
<br />
"Nobody knows me,(nobody knows me)<br />
No one knows my name,<br />
No, nobody knows me,(nobody knows me)<br />
Nobody knows me..."<br />
I half-heartedly explained<br />
But gave up peacefully ashamed<br />
As a glass can only spill what it contains<br />
We went to Portugal and Spain<br />
And in her mind the entire time it rained!<br />
A glass can only spill what it contains<br />
<br />
What new mystery is this? in overflowing emptiness<br />
The Invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist,<br />
Before my doubting eyes the Infinite appears in time-<br />
The Unquestionable is questioned but makes no reply!<br />
<br />
What new mystery is this(x5)?!<br />
"my Rabbi!"<br />
My lips betray with a kiss<br />
<br />
What new mystery is this?
