Lyrics:What You Get

Is it just a bit? Should you commit to it? Is there something to get? Are you overthinking it? Half awake the mistake Isn't making a mint thing Out of the meaningless dreaming Half forgotten and fading Fully lost albatross In the moss covered inkling Mindful ships slowly sinking This is what there is to see Bask in the mystery This is where there is to go Know that you'll never know This is what you get Whatever good it is The only good it is Whatever you can make of it Xylophones made of bones That you loaned from a boneyard Play you out with a Galliard Whistle along by the boneyard In the end, in the sand The remains under gravestones Inside you are all the same bones This is what there is to see Bask in the mystery This is where there is to go Know that you'll never know Does it even count If someone found An answer when it's been lost again? So much hanging on in audible words Blowing in a distant wind Make yourself at home Make hay in the sun Make out in shadowed halls Make out the vague things drawn on the cave walls Xylophones made of bones That you loaned from a boneyard Play you out with a Galliard This is what there is to see Bask in the mystery This is where there is to go Know that you'll never know This is what there is to see Bask in the mystery This is where there is to go Know that you'll never know |
