Alabaster
on the outside looking in / i've never been able to crack the
code / to break the secret spell / that would open up the door
and let me in / to everything I've been looking for so hard I've
never seen / but I feel my strength returning tonight / its flowing
from the purest well to ever give water / It spills out into an
ocean where the sharks are circling / a carnival of counterfeits
has no room for something real
arrogance and ego wrapped around every word / shouted from the
pulpit as a judgment to control / these were my roots my seed
was thrown in shallow soil / I grew into the thorn bushes to be
scorched by the sun / but I feel the gravel move beneath my feet
/ the smell of the gasoline mixed in with the trees / when my
faith is strong I know my strength / the threats will be screamed
when the vultures fell threatened
so I'll open up the door and let you in / I want to break the
alabaster smell the sweet perfume / and when the bottle is broken
I'll have nothing left to give / I'll know I'll already have everything
worth having / but I feel my strength returning tonight / its
flowing from the purest well to ever give water / it spills out
into and ocean where the sharks are circling / a carnival of counterfeits
want to crucify something real
