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

It's 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

It's 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
