lyrics

how much can I drink of the ocean
my mind can't make head or tail
of what my heart is howling
how much can I retain of the stories
I work so hard to spin that I hold so tight
you chose me
in this strange situation
in this life
with the weight of all the tears
of every woman every man every child
every eye that ever cried
take this cup away from me bury my crown of thorns
the glaring of the strip lights
the tearing of the threads
the turning of the wheels along the floor
kicking up the dust I was disguised and I denied that I was there
but it only made the struggle more painful
maybe it will save me
how can I bear this without losing face
sobbing out my eyes and ears and drowning in the river
you have to see the sadness for the love to shine
come out of your hiding
I will hold you through the night
and when the morning breaks
we'll flutter by the butterflies
and dance another dance
and cry one more time
take this cup away from me bury my crown of thorns
take this cup away from me bury my crown of thorns
