what for

across all this land, i can't see what's real, and the sun has bleached, the wind has bent, what you were feeling, is this the way it goes, turning nothing into waterfalls, sink in the heavy flow, i can't deny what the shore will wash up, i'm waiting, i'm waiting what for, how long am i on trial, 'cause i've been good and bad, why don't you run the mountain, and let go of the path, is this the way it goes, turning nothing into waterfalls, sink in the heavy flow, i can't deny what the shore will wash up, i'm waiting, i'm waiting what for, take your bleeding heart, and go back to the start, i'm staying here, i'm down on my luck, but i know which ways up, i'm not taking my turn this way, so when the winter breaks, throw your mind this way, and when the bridges fall, and the sun it fades, i see the burning lake, oh that's you and me, i see we're all the same, just waiting, just waiting what for, what for, ooh, what for
