Is it what you thought it would be?

Is it what you thought it would be?

Does it sate the hunger?

Has it set you free?

Does it make you more than yourself

or just less than someone else?

Shine's worn off

beneath it now 

Same old tarnish anyhow

Same old paths begin to beat

with same old blisters on your feet

Is it what you thought it would be?

Does it sate the hunger?

Has it set you free?

Does it make you more than yourself

or just less than someone else?

Blinding light begins to fade

Racing heart is gently stayed

Things downed out by sacred word

begin to make themselves reheard

Is it what you thought it would be?

Does it sate the hunger?

Has it set you free?

Does it make you more than yourself

or just less than someone else?

Thought you'd found the cipher

Dug up the Rosetta Stone

Turns out it was another bit of rock

Like faith and hope and charity

Like glitters of fool's gold

Two-digit answer only in the book

Is it what you thought it would be?

Does it sate the hunger?

Has it set you free?

Does it make you more than yourself

or just less than someone else?
