A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains Lyrics - Singles - Me Without You

A cat came drifting onto my porch from the outside cold 

And with eyes closed, drinking warm milk from my bowl 

Thought, 'Nobody hears me, nobody hears me 

As 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 as the giraffes and the tigers do 

Saying, 'No one can stop me, no one can stop me 

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, nobody knows me 

No one knows my name 

Nobody knows me, nobody knows me 

Nobody knows me' 

I half-heartedly explained but gave up peacefully ashamed 

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? In overflowing emptiness 

The Invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist 

Before my doubting eyes the Infinite appears in time 

The unquestionable is questioned but makes no reply 

What new mystery is this? 

What new mystery is this? 

What new mystery is this? 

What new mystery is this? 

What new mystery is this? 

My Rabbi, my lips betray with a kiss 

What new mystery is this?
