A cat came drifting onto my porch from the outside cold

And with eyes closed, drinking warm milk from my bowl

Thought,

"Nobody hears me! Nobody hears me!

As I crept in so soft

And nobody sees me! Nobody sees me!"

As I watched six steps off

Like peacocks wandering the walkways of the zoo

Who have twice the autonomy the giraffes and the tigers do

Saying,

"No one can stop me! No one can stop me!

No one clips my claws.

Now everyone watch me! Everyone watch me

scale these outside walls!"

Oh you, pious and profane

Put away your praise and blame

Said, "A glass can only spill what it contains"

To the perpetually plain, the incurably inane

A glass can only spill what it contains

What new mystery is this?

What blessed backwardness?

The Immeasurable One is held and does not resist!

Struck by wicked words and foolish fists of senseless men

The Almighty One does not defend

I was halfway listening to what she thinks she knows

We're like children dressing in our parents' clothes

Saying,

"Nobody knows me. Nobody knows me.

No one knows my name.

Nobody knows me. Nobody knows me.

No, nobody knows me."

I half-heartedly explained

But gave up peacefully ashamed

A glass can only spill what it contains

We went to Portugal and Spain

And in her mind the entire time it rained

A glass can only spill what it contains

What new mystery is this?

In overflowing emptiness

The Invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist

Before my doubting eyes the Infinite appears in time

The Unquestionable is questioned but makes no reply

What new mystery is this?

What new mystery is this?

What new mystery is this?

What new mystery is this?

What new mystery is this?

"My Rabbi!"

My lips betray with a kiss

What new mystery is this?

"I was halfway listening to what she thinks she knowsWe're like children dressing in our parents' clothes"My sentiments exactly. Some people are blinded by the media, TV, movies, and entertainment. Dig deeper! There are so many amazing things to discover out there! God expects more from us. We can do better! So tired of finding a nice girl, and slowly finding out all she cares about is monetary, and entertainment! Can't carry a conversation about philosophies or religions...

We can all learn, grow, improve, and better ourselves and others. That is what is so great about this band...substance! Amazing and refreshing to hear uplifting music that makes one think deeper and ask God for understanding. As a Philosophy Major and Christian, I love this band.

Prolly one of my favorite aspects of this band is the fact that you don't need to be a Christian, really religious at all, to enjoy the beauty of this music and bask in what is the glory of truly thought provoking/sheer incredible song writing.

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. A glass really can only spill what it contains.

When people tell him this, he often replies with 'Thank you, but I'm still just a mortal human.'

half-heartedly explained But gave up peacefully ashamed A glass can only spill what it contains We went to Portugal and Spain And in her mind the entire time it rained A glass can only spill what it contains-- Reminds me of the Mandarins by simone de beauvoir (characters based on real life) Albert Camus (or Henri) takes Nadine to Portugal and Spain, and in her mind.. the entire time 'it rained' (:

i'm sorry but you honestly don't understand their music in the slightest if you think that. aaron weiss has done nothing but astound me with his lyrical content and his delivery. listen to them more, hopefully it'll click and you'll be able to see the worth of their work.

Don´t hate on La Dispute just because some of their fans are stupid. Both are great theres no need to compare. They don´t really sound that similar.
