Basket of Eggs (Acoustic - Basket Of Eggs)

As through a glass darkly you seek yourself

But the light grows weak while under

Yggsdrasil

A basket of eggs, may you count your days

Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain

I can tell you've been drinking by the scent of your breath

Another little sip, a bit deeper in debt

You can rest your head in your wrinkled hands

But when you awake, you're in another land

In fields of green rolling on endlessly

You find a fallen nest where there is no tree

Mark the brown furred hound tied to the mandrake root

Dare you carve a face in that virtue food?

I can tell what you're thinking,

I see it everyday

I'll help you with your coat, see you on your way

Sure you want to go walking on a night like this?

Look, there goes another one now

One day I swear they will not miss

As through a glass darkly you seek yourself

But the light grows weak while under

Yggsdrasil

A basket of eggs may you count your days

Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain
