A miserable taste that simmers inside its bowl, it's a broth that leaves you lost for words.
It is a dish that sadly all of us drink whether we know it or we haven't got the faintest idea.
Throw in a pinch of loathing or laziness, stir it round until it's all combined.
And now I find that I've been all but blind to everything bubbling round
Dang'rous colours swirling without a sound.
Breath it all in, the scent of a lonely life floating up into the open air.
And in the silverware: a person just like me, but someone that is sorrier than I've ever seen.
"You're not good enough," the reflection seems to say, and I feel as if I might agree.
I shut off all that's not what I need.
Bad ideas, all those fears, I swallow tears like a habitual chore
All this and more that I used to adore.
They're pitiful mem'ries swimming down to my core.
"What a taste, how absurd!" They crush my dreams without saying a word.
Yet now, as I'm grateful for the meal that has been served to me.
I just want to return to who I used to be.
Shaking in my fingers, sweaty stains that linger, tenderness and agony, and all of this regret.
Trying to forget, but not succeeding yet. The longer I dwell, it seems the more that I fail.
Pour in my emotions, going through the motions, simmering and sinister and filled until the brim.
Until at last every drop is swallowed up. YEAH
All alone, a serving size too large for one, and yet too small it seems for some.
So give up, give in or believe that there's a SOUP-erpower waiting within?
Still I'm all alone, and told that I should stay that way: I know I just can't take the pain.
I wouldn't choose a life so blue, or risk it all and start anew and miss just one more day with you.
So I'm grateful for the meal that I've been s erved today.
Just once, I think I'd like to taste it all again.
To bring up to the heat a heart that's frozen by a sigh.
And give this soup another try. AAAAAAAAAAH
Shaking in your fingers, sweaty stains that linger, tenderness and agony, and all of this regret
I know you're scared to fail, and so am I as well.
But, surrendering now will only swallow you down.
Pour in your emotions, going through the motions, simmering and sinister and filled until the brim.
If that's what life is all about, our tears will only fall if we have doubt.
Life is for the living, the gift that keeps on giving.
Everything you're feeling, tip it out and let it go!
So, splash around. Make that melancholy jolly and forget about the day, blow your worry away.
Drink until you're winning, keep those plates on spinning.
Toast until the future is as beautiful as you!
Give me a dream to believe in; a hope that's as bright as the light within.
Until I find it all inside my cup. (ONLY THEEEN)
Until at last every drop is swallowed up. YEAH
