Every Boy Should Collect Knives

Build me a foundation
Not one of perfection
But one of structure and word
My eyes are upright, in constant search
Perfection, a shout Unconquerable
Aren't we all human
Aren't we all human

Our time is now, for we are running
Running out
We were never meant to be, We were never
Meant to be
Give me place, reasons to be strong
Reasons to be strong
Fallace, the enemy at my throat
Where do I stand

Then hear my ties to burden
And this is where I'm from

Build me a foundation
Not one of perfection
But one of structure and word
My eyes are upright, in constant search
Perfection, a shout Unconquerable
Aren't we all human
Aren't we all human

Who am I, who am I to listen to a voice unheard in truth
I am, I am made in imperfections
To be searching for something
Found in ways of world we cannot know
Who am I to think I'm one with this
To devise a life and run with it
Well, I'm running away

Then hear my ties to burden
And this is where I'm from
So when my body fails me
And all my beliefs, taking flight
This is how you'll remember me

Will I ever be answered
Given so many
So many choices
So be it
This is where I stand

Build me a foundation
Not one of perfection
But one of structure and word
My eyes are upright, in constant search
Perfection, a shout Unconquerable
Aren't we all human
Aren't we all human
