lyrics

i've got a shrine of dirty dishes i won't wash
and glasses in the corners just collected dust
and plates covered with honey with caught forgotten thoughts
and spoons that lost their usefulness a long time ago

i've got some plasticine i stole when i was worried
it's balled up and printed with stress from my hands
and i'd yell through the night
and push my bones together
but i spin the tap around and we've still got running water

so take a glass
and rinse it out
and take a sip
and clean your mouth

i've got ten things that i need done in a hurry
but i can't do all the others until i've finished number one
and squeezing the universe into a ball it isn't easy
so everyday ends with nothing done at all

and i've got a wall with forty old reminders
they're written on white napkins with big round coffee stains
and reading them all i hear is ringing in the background
i thought i got the meaning but it never stays the same

so take a glass
and rinse it out
and take a sip
and clean your mouth

so take a glass
and rinse it out
and take a sip
and spit it out

i've got five flashing lights that keep turning on and off
and my eyes can't adjust to the patterns that they're making
so i've closed them tight, i'm seeing red, until i fall asleep
and i have that dream where i'm too scared to try and cross the street

i've got the last ten pages of a book to read
but pages 305 and 306 were damaged in the flood
the words still make their sounds and stay in the same language
but the characters behave differently when put under the stress

so take a glass
and rinse it out
and take a sip
and clean your mouth

so take a glass
and rinse it out
and take a sip
and spit it out

so take a glass
and rinse it out
and take a sip
and clean your mouth

so take a glass
and rinse it out
and take a sip
and drown yourself
