lyrics

A CUP OF EMPTINESS

Nil-cup sips, bland taste spin
Tongues of yearn, pull deep within
Urges start, no turning back
Longing grows, thirst to attack.

Flower bleak, blooms in the night
Fervor's fire, burning bright
Blanket's soft, hold tight and strong
Crucifix, a story untold.

Fingers bite, flame flickers low
Ennui's breeze, hope's slow blow
Whistle hollow, boredom's toll
Tender wrap, heart's sweet goal.

Words so void, nothing within
Poison's voice, where to begin
Letters cruel, cold grip of bone
Grammar's mess, a mind so prone.

Clear in thought, devotion shines
Path aligns, emotions divine
Chaos's trace, a light aglow
Dedication, nature's show.

Throbbing want, red heat of fire
Ready to burst, world's attire
Erupt in white, face to the skies
Hollow's full, a desire that flies.

Fingers bite, flame flickers low
Ennui's breeze, hope's slow blow
Whistle hollow, boredom's toll
Tender wrap, heart's sweet goal.

Words so void, nothing within
Poison's voice, where to begin
Letters cruel, cold grip of bone
Grammar's mess, a mind so prone.

Drink the void, no end in sight
Nothingness, cup's delight
Hollow filled, rare pleasure's muse
Impossible, bottom to choose.

Bottom be, a chase ne'er done
Emptiness, one's work begun
With what? Query still unspent
Destiny, void's content.
