Toughen The Bones - Borialis

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
