The Joy Formidable – What For lyrics
[Intro]
[Spoken Word on Intercom]

[Verse 1]
Across all this land
I can't see what's real
And the sun has bleached, the wind has bent
What you were feeling

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
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
For the last time

[Bridge]
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
