Metaxy Lyrics by Upstate

You Only Get A Few

2022

[Verse 1]
Saint Paul said to Saint Steven:
"Well I guess that makes us even"
As Steven wiped the rubble off his brow
And Steven said to Paul:
"You've seen one you've seen 'em all
I hope that we can laugh about it now"

And Henry said to Becket:
"I don't know what you expected
Even God said render Caeser what is his"
Said Becket to the king:
"That won't amount to anything
If you can't recognize just what it is"

[Chorus]
You don't know how it will break from where it bends
Just don't mistake the middlе for the end

[Verse 2]
And Flannery O'Connor
Couldn't summon up thе honor
To sit and face James Baldwin in the South
She knew the truth was something more
Than what she had a stomach for
Or a misfit's kind of grace to sort it out

A calm came over sister
Saint Theresa Benedicta
Prayin' in a train car headin' East
For Love's lasting mediation
In our reconciliation
That could swallow all creation in its breach

[Chorus]
You don't know how it will break from where it bends
Just don't mistake the middle for the end

[Outro]
What you give and what you take, it all depends
But just don't mistake the middle for the end
Don't mistake the middle for the end
