"What You Get" 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 is in making a meant thing
Out of the meaningless dreaming
Half-forgotten and fading
Fully lost albatross in the moss-covered inkling
Mindfulship 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 in it's
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 hide 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
Inaudible 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
