Empty Glasses

You don’t even yourself
Because you’re so wrapped up in me
Even if I tried I can’t be
What it is you want me to be
I pour out all that I can
But you’re always running low
As the time passes
I’m still filling empty glasses

Needs of the body
Needs of the soul
Needs for time
The need to know
Needs for the present
Needs for the future
Needs you can’t control
You’re always running low
As the time passes
I’m still filling empty glasses

Sit to stew and drink it down
Like little drops of rain
So much like alcohol
But it doesn’t drown the pain
I pour out all that I can
But you’re always running low
As the time passes
I’m still filling empty glasses

Once a sip passes your lips
it must run right through
I can’t seem to give enough
No matter what I do
You’re always running low
As the time passes
I’m still filling empty glasses

Needs of the body
Needs of the soul
Needs for time
The need to know
Needs for the present
Needs for the future
Needs you can’t control
You’re always running low
As the time passes
I’m still filling empty glasses
