lyrics

Its only new the first time around
Gonna see what’s left behind
The bleached bones of experience
In the desert of the jaded mind
And they shine so elusively,
If they shine at all
One by one the suns burn out
Till every single one is gone

That’s how it goes, everytime you’re getting close
Such is the law of diminished returns
Of the law we're never free, it applies to all we see
Like flesh from the bone
It all falls away

And I thought id be gone by now,
But I persevere
And I thought id be bathed in frowns
But I’m smiling from ear to ear
Can’t hold on to experience
It ain't something you can own
You got to let it happen to you
And enjoy it and let it go

That’s how it goes, everytime you’re getting close
Such is the law of diminished returns
Of the law we're never free, it applies to all we see
Like flesh from the bone
It all falls away

Ive been saved, in the shadow of the mountain 2, 3 times before
Now I wave one last time to the mountain
Don’t need it anymore

Oh that’s how it goes, looks like I’m getting close
To defying the law of diminished returns
Oh could it be, that it don’t apply to me anymore
The walls of the law
They all fade away
