Paper Cups

Where did I leave it
That look in your eye
Tattooed the memory
To the back of my mind,
Back of my mind
Something elusive
Cannot pin down
Like a gentle breeze a tidal wave
you got me anyway, anyhow
Call it what you want
Tell me things too loud to hear
Collect all my words in paper cups
And fill me up
Sipping on your sympathy and
Pouring out my heart in paper cups
Hand me lighter
I'm in the dark
Everything perfect
And falling apart
Louder and louder
The waves in my ears
All the blood pounding an endless beat
til the purpose disappears
Cut through the chaos
Cut through the noise
Cut to the feeling
Choking my voice
Colour it in
gave it a name
Found the centre
of the sound again
