year of the cup

Porter Robinson

It s none of my goddamn business what s in the cup
But it s a beautiful thing, man
But it s not a beautiful thing
because nobody knows what s in the cup
That s the whole thing
Unless you come up and drink what s in my cup
Then how can you say it s a beautiful thing?
Also, when people drink alcohol, they react
So whatever the hell was in my cup, the only reaction I did
Was got more popular, more successful
Did a lot more things that I ve ever done
Picked up a guitar, learned how to play it
Learned how to put on the Auto-Tunes and stretched my voic?
I probably should pick that cup back up

I swore not to care, but on that night, I couldn t help it
I took out all of my sham? on a random guy
who probably liked me
And that night, it was the obvious first time
you were disappointed
I spewed out that irresponsible mantra
I m sorry I m like this

What the hell was in his cup?
Whatever he was drinking must be
a motherfuckin success potion
That s why I tell people
Fuck you and whatever was in my cup
Suck my dick, I m gon keep drinking it, bitch

Ah, something s in the air like vanilla
I got on my Facebook
And that time, I had the courage
to call her and tell her that I loved her
I guess that screaming
at my audience works and everyone likes it
I dreamed of cutting my Achilles
heel: wanting people to like me

Don t judge me, tryna say
Yeah, he should ve put the cup down
Why? What did he do wrong? Name it
He was on 60 Minutes with
he was on 60 Minutes with Katie Couric
Was you? No
Tryna make people understand that, don t judge me

I can t go to sleep cause my mind keeps
ringing with times that I
Laid out everything wrong with me
up on stage, it s embarrassing
Fuck you, you don t deserve me
the bus went totally silent
And help me was what I meant
to say as I gnashed my teeth right in front of you

Yeah, I kinda put the cup down for a minute, but um
Ain t nothing in the cup right now
but some wine, I drink Dolce
That s about it, that s the only thing
in the cup right now, but honestly

I asked you, If I never changed
would you love me? Expecting the negative
Clever, turning the question around to me was obvious
I hate this version of me that was safe
and sanitized thoroughly
You think you ll let people dow
and define some perfect apology

The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
What s in the cup? Is it really none of my goddamn business?
