The Dresser

bewareofdarknessmusic:

If you missed it last night, here is our performance of “Howl” on Conan

Pyramids

The advice from the wise will change my vision

Carry out whats in my heart with precision

They break you down with sticks and stones

You build your pyramids with flesh and bone

First time through it I felt the resistance

Second time around they can hold me down, like the water always finds a crack I’ll burn every bridge and I wont look back

I move mountains I cross deserts ancient kings fields of energy

Weigh no risk taking it future find out how far one can do

Refuse to exist in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat

Turn my failures inside out

Irreplaceable the spark that starts that starts the fire

Blur the line sacrifice desire

You want the sword without the stone

Build an empire surrounded and alone

Gaining strength in the eye of the storm

Remaining clam with perfect form

I climb I cross rivers

Smiling in the face of my enemies

Nature of the risk I’m taking

Push it till the point of breaking

Sometimes the only way out is deeper in I’ll sink to swim

There is no light without the darkness

I’ll use the diamonds to cut through glass

Separate the future, learning from the past

No puzzle in the pieces orchestrate a vision

Don’t let confusion breed indecision

Unlock the mystery blind folded I can hear the sound

How lost will I become until I’m found

I stay focused I gain distance I’m stronger than you’d like me to be

Great devotion I cross oceans stand along conquered cities

The weakness of hate the strength of faith

What lies before what lies ahead

More important what lies within

If they break you down with sticks and stones then build your pyramids with flesh and bone

If they break you down with sticks and stones then build your empire with flesh and bone
