Cup Of Tea lyrics

Artist  : Sage Francis 
Song : Cup Of Tea



 Send "Cup Of Tea" Ringtone to your Cell 

  Every midnight we sit at the coffee table and we
share a cup of tea
He stays up with me and we discuss things
Most of the time he just listens
Other times offers suggestions or he just ignores
my questions
It gets more depressing as time passes, because
every night
I ask this one question and all he does is wipe
his glasses
It's aggrevating as hell and I'm just waiting to
tell
whether or not he can even remember the answer..
Or whether or not he's choosing not to tamper
with his memory..
Or whether or not he can even f**king remember
me. 
What a waste of time
But every night it's that same damn routine:
One green cup of tea and me stuck all by myself
once its empty
Then I'm off to bed with plenty of caffiene to
keep me up and thinking
The cup I'm drinking from is never clean
I can't remember if it's a dream once I awake and
I walk..
From my messy bed and anticipate the next late
night talk

Every midnight we sit at the coffee table and we
share a cup of tea
 
He stays up with me and we discuss things
Most of the time he just listens
Other times offers suggestions with his awful
expressions
Altered refelctions...his whole aura is
see-through
With more confessions...I don't want to leave you
'This cup should be bottomless!'...as my
insecurities spill
I see his face fading away. I surely need a
refill
I purposely keep still and don't move much
Except to wet my lips with sips. With every kiss
of death I lose touch
I sip the tea carefully because its at the degree
of seperation
Tasting the forked tongue in bi-lingual
conversation
Waiting for his answer still...and at any given
chance I will
Sweet and Low my bitter past...let the cancer
kill the small talk
'Alright, man...this bitter taste in my mouth
needs to get washed out
Ghosts in this house don't have anything timely
to talk about.'
The concept is dead. There's nothing death should
interrupt
I went to bed last night with one sip left in the
cup
