lyrics

sweet water only serves to make me thirsty
my alabaster jar collects the rain
it's used to water other people's pastures
brimming vessels always empty out again
(at least it means i'm useful now and then)

empty vessels

fill me, fill me
i was made to pour out all my insides
fill me
i've been sitting in your highest cupboard
fill me
i was built to hold the weight of safety
fill me, fill me
otherwise i'm empty

my belly filled with rich anointing oils
you snap me by the neck to break the seal
you touch me to your tongue and call it holy
the loss reminds me what it is to feel
(i guess it means that's worth the time it takes to heal)

empty vessels

fill me, fill me
i was made to pour out all my insides
fill me
i've been sitting in your highest cupboard
fill me
i was built to hold the weight of safety
fill me, fill me
otherwise i'm empty

i am not a wellspring, not a fountain
i don't keep what i've been given
it's my lot to pour it out again untouched
i will give it sanctuary
i will hold it deep inside me
for a time until you're thirsty, you're so thirsty
i'm so thirsty, i'm so--

fill me, fill me
i was made to pour out all my insides
fill me
i've been sitting in your highest cupboard
fill me
i was built to hold the weight of safety
fill me, fill me
otherwise i'm--

fill me, fill me
i was made to pour out all my insides
fill me
i've been sitting in your highest cupboard
fill me
i was built to hold the weight of safety
fill me, fill me
otherwise i'm--
