A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains Lyrics

What new mystery is this?
What blessed backwardness?
The Immeasurable one is held and does not resist!

Struck by wicked words and foolish fists of senseless men
The Almighty One does not defend!


I'm halfway listening to what she thinks she knows
We're like children dressing in our parents clothes saying:
"Nobody knows me, nobody knows me
No one knows my name!

Nobody knows me, nobody knows me
Nobody knows me... "

I half-heartedly explained
But gave up peacefully ashamed
"A glass can only spill what it contains!"
We went to Portugal and Spain
And in her mind the entire time it rained!

"A glass can only spill what it contains!"

What new mystery is this?
In overflowing emptiness!
The invisible is seen amongst the shadows and the mist
Before my doubting eyes
The infinite appears in time
The unquestionable is questioned
But makes no reply!

What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?

"My rabbi"
My lips betray with a kiss


What new mystery is this?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
