[Verse 1] Morning cracks open I stare at the cup Black smoke in the porcelain Pulling me up The first sip hits Like a velvet bell My hands stop shaking And I can tell [Pre-Chorus] Round and round The room gets slow Sour cream moon On the windowsill glow [Chorus] Pour it in, pour it in Cinder cup, let me begin Pour it in, pour it in I’m alive again, I’m alive again Bitter gold, bitter gold Fills the holes I never told Pour it in, pour it in Cinder cup, let me begin [Verse 2] I take the long road Through the sugar storm Steam in my mouth Keeps the bad day warm The world turns soft At the edge of noon Your name on my tongue Like a spoon in a tune [Pre-Chorus] Round and round The walls unwind Heavy thoughts Leave a ring behind [Chorus] Pour it in, pour it in Cinder cup, let me begin Pour it in, pour it in I’m alive again, I’m alive again Bitter gold, bitter gold Fills the holes I never told Pour it in, pour it in Cinder cup, let me begin [Bridge] I was half asleep In a painted cave Then the dark got sweet And the slow day gave One more bloom One more spark Hot and clean Cutting through the dark [Chorus] Pour it in, pour it in Cinder cup, let me begin Pour it in, pour it in I’m alive again, I’m alive again Bitter gold, bitter gold Fills the holes I never told Pour it in, pour it in Cinder cup, let me begin
