What You Get

Standing on shoulders hoping to find what never existed
You know it ain't easy stumbling blind

Well, this is what you get,
for now
This is what you get,
and how it hurts
Own it well

You took all your dreams and shot them to space
You believed good would come of it
Yet so unspecific and you fell on your face

Well, this is what you get,
for now
This is what you get,
and how it hurts
Own it well

You carry the wounded and heal the infected
in hopes of healing your own
It's so unexpected when we all die alone

Yeah!
Well, this is what you get,
for now
This is what you get,
and how it hurts

It's what you get,
It's how you're measured
It's all your pain mixed with so much pleasure
It's what you get,
It's all you've ever wanted
It's all you've dreamed and somehow forgotten
It's what you get, your truth and your lies
It's all you believe and all you deny
It's all you set free and all you enslave
Remember your dreams are never thrown away

Well, this is what you get,
for now
This is what you get,
and how it hurts
Own it well
