Alabaster

On the outside looking ini've never been able to crack the codeto break the secret spellthat would open up the door and let me into everything I've been looking for so hard I've never seenbut I feel my strength returning tonightits flowing from the purest well to ever give waterIt spills out into an ocean where the sharks are circlinga carnival of counterfeits has no room for something real arrogance and ego wrapped around every wordshouted from the pulpit as a judgment to controlthese were my roots my seed was thrown in shallow soilI grew into the thorn bushes to be scorched by the sunbut I feel the gravel move beneath my feetthe smell of the gasoline mixed in with the treeswhen my faith is strong I know my strengththe threats will be screamed when the vultures fell threatened so I'll open up the door and let you inI want to break the alabaster smell the sweet perfumeand when the bottle is broken I'll have nothing left to giveI'll know I'll already have everything worth havingbut I feel my strength returning tonightits flowing from the purest well to ever give waterit spills out into and ocean where the sharks are circlinga carnival of counterfeits want to crucify something real
