Borialis Toughen The Bones
great Song, great band :)
Lyrics:
CHORUS:
No need to roam into the unknown / Got the whole world outside my window / Gotta fill the belly / And toughen the bones / 'Cause it's he who endures long, who finds his true home
(Verse 1) I go days without sleep, weeks and won't eat / Walk on broke glass and coats with bare feet / Watch me perform feats beyond belief / Withstand the freezing cold and extreme heat / I may receive beatings, and calm the heartbeat / I learn to endure and to ignore pain / By shutting off nerves that inform the brain / Sustained by the air, sunshine, and rain / Refrain till necessity is all that remains / I hold my breath in 4 minutes and 40 seconds / These old yogis, they come to me for lessons / And when they exit, they ask for my blessings / Like Christians begging for forgivness in confession / Hearing my song is like getting your palms read / Telling you thoughts going on in your mom's head / Telling vets what the Sarge in Vietnam said / Reuniting them with friends who had been long dead / Knowing word for word what a letter you read said / From an ex-lover who double-crossed, and then you saw red
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
(Verse 2) Life is short, so my rhymes are morbid / Dark and obscure like Jim Morrison / Cats talk shit, but I just ignore it / Oblivious going about my own biz / Compose shit as dope as Mr. Holland's Opus / 'Cause I'm more focused then a microscope is / Remain absorded in great concentration / More profound then any ancient meditation / Close my eyes and I'm on vacation / All caught up in my latest creation
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
(Verse 3) My love for life is stronger than my fear of death / And my soul won't rest after my last breath / I'm haunting any man who ever crossed me wrong / Walking through their walls long after I'm gone / In the form I was before I was born / I learned all this through constant hardships / To harness the Force we all were born with / The ascetic, auto telic Martial Artist / Often regarded as brutally honest / Fearless, wide-eyed but tearless / Carefully careless in full awareness / In all fairness, you can't compare this / No radio station out there will air this / This is rare shit, some rip out your hair shit / It's how I spit over kick and snare hits /
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
