Coffee Cup

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I think I'm seeing things in my coffee cup And I don't know if all these dreams will ever be enough To keep me truckin' along this dusty, potholed road I suppose I should be going now, my coffee's getting cold Just like my soul Sunrise, sunset, doesn't matter, it's always the same The sun is moving all the time, but we're the ones changing Ranges of emotion cluttering my mind Bouncing through my body, destroying my insides But please don't take my soul; It's the thing I need most Times's a-wasting, my breath's becoming short Waiting for an answer, but it's time I can't afford Begging and bartering has become my last resort It's up to me to acknowledge or to ignore: Time What's the point of wondering when nothing's getting done? And what's the use of marching to the beat of your own drum When you're out of tune and have no rhythm and you're all torn up? Well, Father, if it is your will then please just take this cup Take this cup So I put on my helmet and I strap on my boots The rest of it is uphill and I know that I may lose But there's no chance of gaining if I never even try And I would like to know myself before I have to die As I sigh my last sigh Times's a-wasting, my breath's becoming short Waiting for an answer, but it's time I can't afford Begging and bartering has become my last resort It's up to me to acknowledge or to ignore: Time Time to listen, time to learn Time to rise up from these ashes of my burned And broken life that I led To save my soul no longer dead My soul no longer dead
