Take this cup away from me
I have been blinded by what I cannot see
Can no longer recall
Whether I've breached the door
Can no longer predict if I'll reach safe shores
Or was this just a one-time score?
I burned my heart on a much bigger stove
Got myself lost in the sea which I'd dove
But I still dance to tunes that only I hear
And I still flee from ghosts that only I fear
You've done your share of harm through the years
For when I was thirsty, you offered me salt
And when I sought refuge, you sealed up the vault
And when I asked questions, you spat out clichés
You bumbled the objectives
Then you bailed from the malaise
So now that you are exposed
You beg of me, may I finally understand?
That when you were weeping
I made a nice scapegoat
While chasms were deepening
You dug a deeper mote
And when you made statements
They dissolved within a day
Save that solemn refusal
To take this cup away
Take this cup away
Take this cup away
Away, away
