Circle the Drain/Empty the Cup

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
