Another Chalice

[Verse 1]
Ash in the glass
Lipstick, last night’s laugh
Turned to a cracked-up mirror
I see your ghost in the rim, getting clearer
You left your ring
On the Bible by the sink
Coffee gone cold on the table
I trace your name in the stain, I’m not able
[Chorus]
O God, my love, I pray
Another chalice come my way
Strong enough to hold this flood
All this hurt and all this blood
O God, my love, I swear
If a gentler cup is there
Let it touch my trembling tongue
Till this broken song is sung (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I poured my heart
Into hands that shook apart
You drank me down, slow poison
Left me dry in the dawn, still hoping
Knees on the floor
Same old prayer, same worn door
If there’s a glass made for fire
Let it cradle this wild desire
[Chorus]
O God, my love, I pray
Another chalice come my way
Strong enough to hold this flood
All this hurt and all this blood
O God, my love, I swear
If a gentler cup is there
Let it touch my trembling tongue
Till this broken song is sung (oh, sung)
[Bridge]
Tell me, is love a blessing
Or a bruise I keep caressing
Every sip a little death
Every kiss a stolen breath
If there’s mercy in your hands
Shape a cup that understands
[Chorus]
O God, my love, I pray
Another chalice come my way
Strong enough to hold this flood
All this hurt and all this blood
O God, my love, I swear
If a gentler cup is there
Let it touch my trembling tongue
Till this broken song is sung (amen)

Verses start intimate with close-mic whispery delivery, 808-style low end pulsing under soft Rhodes and distant ambient pads.
