lyrics

what’s holding you up?
and why is everyone frowning?
each tip of the cup
is a drop closer to drowning

what are you waiting for?
your body’s at full throttle
your speeches can’t restore
the djinn back to its bottle

your daughter’s hiding things
your sons are worrying
your wife is buried underneath her books

if you swallow that first sip
the thirst will linger on your lips
and what started as a drop becomes a flood
you surrender to that kiss
that pulls you into the abyss
and the poison percolates into your blood
when your head is in the sand
nobody but you can help you stand

what's holding you back
from asking the right questions?
corvettes, black cadillacs,
and unbearable tension

you dove into the cup
now your body's giving up
you can't give back the liberties you took

if you swallow that first sip
the thirst will linger on your lips
and what started as a drop becomes a flood
you surrender to that kiss
that pulls you into the abyss
and the poison percolates into your blood
when your head is in the sand
nobody but you can help you stand
