Comfortable Disappearance

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted some lyrics of music I’ve been enjoying. Well, I’ve been listening to a lot of M. Ward lately, and I thought it would only be appropriate if I shared some lyrics of his with y’all.

This song opens Mr. Ward’s most recent record, Post-War. It’s a sweet lullaby portraying the sunny and poisonous sides of love.

M. Ward - “Poison Cup” from Post-War

One
One
One
One or two won’t do
Cos I want it all

And a sip
A sip
A sip or a spoonful won’t do
No, I want it all

And I hope
I hope
Hope you know what I’m thinking of
I want all of your love
I need all of your love

She said “If love
If Love
Is a posion cup
Then drink it up”

“Cos a sip
A sip
Or a spoonful won’t do
Won’t do nothing for you
Except mess you up”

And I hope
I hope
Hope you know what this means
I’m gonna give you everything
I’m gonna give you everything
