David Alan Roberts - Circle the Drain/Empty the Cup Lyrics

Fear!
The more I possess the more fear of what could go wrong
Fear!
As expectations grow there's a fear that I can't respond
And that it's been too long
Waste, a sorrow for waste
All the lies that I've chased
And all the harm I have caused
Run, run from the past
Run from the thought
That the die has been cast
Regret!
A kind of sorrow I must embrace that leads to change
Admit!
I've lived the wrong life so now I circle the drain
As I try to drown my pain
Waste, a sorrow for waste
All the lies that I've chased
And all the harm I have caused
But hope, hope can redeem
There's a future not seen
A meaning that lasts
Run from it all into the clean sweet void
Let it all go, enough with all the noise
Listen for a call, a gentle and humble voice
Let it all go, embrace a new choice
Oh, the sweet cleansing
A void that lifts me up
A rebirth that takes place
By emptying my cup
The strange dread of freedom
Resolving to commit
The choice must always be
To what will I submit
Time can rob one blind, but timing returns it all
Giver of value, listen for the call
A different adventure, awakening from a dream
The stage sets collapse, 'cause nothing is what it seemed
Oh, the sweet cleansing
A void that lifts me up
A rebirth that takes place
By emptying my cup
The strange dread of freedom
Resolving to commit
The choice must always be
To what will I submit
