Lyrics Toughen The Bones - Borialis

Toughen The Bones

No need to roam into the unknown, got the
Whole world outside my window, gotta
Fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
I go days without sleep, weeks and won’t eat
Walk on broke glass and coals with bare feet
Watch me perform feats beyond belief
Withstand the freezing cold and extreme heat
I may receive beatings, but won’t know defeat
Slow down my breathin' and calm the heartbeat
I learn to endure and to ignore pain
By shuttin' off nerves that inform the brain, sustained
By the air, sunshine, and rain, refrain
'Til necessities all that remains
I hold my breath in four minutes and forty seconds
These old yogis, they come to me for lessons
And when they exit, they ask for my blessings
Like Christians begging forgiveness 'n' confession
Hearin' my song is like gettin' your palms read
Tellin' you thoughts going on in your mom’s head
Tellin' vets what the Serge in Vietnam said
Reunitin' them with friends who had been long dead
Knowin' word-for-word what a letter you read said
From an ex-lover who double-crossed, and then you saw red
No need to roam into the unknown, got the
Whole world outside my window, gotta
Fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
No need to roam into the unknown, got the
Whole world outside my window, gotta
Fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
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 bis'
Compose shit as dope as Mr. Holland’s Opus
'Cause I’m more focused then a microscope is
Remain absorbed in great concentration
More profound than any ancient meditation
Close my eyes and I’m on vacation
All caught up in my latest creation
No need to roam into the unknown, got the
Whole world outside my window, gotta
Fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
No need to roam into the unknown, got the
Whole world outside my window, gotta
Fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
My love for life’s stronger than my fear of death
And my soul won’t rest after my last breath
I’m hauntin' any man who ever crossed me wrong
Walkin' 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 was 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
No need to roam into the unknown, got the
Whole world outside my window, gotta
Fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
No need to roam into the unknown, got the
Whole world outside my window, gotta
Fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
