"Behold! Be Held!" lyrics

"Behold! Be Held!"

I want to make music all the time
Not just in fits and skirmishes
I wanna be wholly consumed in rhyme
And bend my whole to her wishes
Squiggle inside of her dark, depthest reaches
Behold, behold, be held
What suffering teaches

Behold, be held, what reason rules
Behold, be held, on level field
Behold, be held, you fool of fools
Behold, be held, behave, be real

You owe me a reason to not fully be mine
Explain to me, let me in on your secrets
We're better off pooling the groove that we find
Sharing is nothing to regret
Swallow me wholly, consume all my worth
Behold, behold, be held, it's you who comes first

Behold, be held, what reason rules
Behold, be held, on level field
Behold, be held, you fool of fools
Behold, be held, behave, be real

And then when that grueling death bell knells
We'll have such a wondrous thing to remember
There's nothing to fear from those crazy blue bells
The mystery's solved, and the oval is closed
And everyone we know will be born again
Behold, behold, be held, the adventure's over

Behold, be held, what reason rules
Behold, be held, on level field
Behold, be held, you fool of fools
Behold, be held, behave, be real

Behold, be held, what blossoms bloom
Behold, be held, in fallow field
Behold, be held, in one's own room
Behold, be held, resolve, reveal

Behold, be held
