Building The Colossus

Shoring up the sides, pillars hold me up

Mortar me here, mortar me there

Gonna need stronger underwear uh-huh

to keep this spine upright

Reaching to the sky, stone by stone

A character flaw will bring it all down

Gonna have to call the mason 'round uh-huh

and sturdy up the ground

I wake up close to being just right, then something

gets me wound

and I start to lose sight of that big, Gold Girl who

knows all about stuff,

who loves every single body and knows when to shut up

I try to build the perfect model of-a who I wanna be

There's an ideal person hiding, lurking, waiting inside

of me

Shoring up the sides, pillars hold me up

Mortar me here, mortar me there

Gonna need stronger underwear uh-huh

to keep this spine upright

Reaching to the sky, stone by stone

A character flaw will bring it all down

Gonna have to call the mason 'round uh-huh

and sturdy up the ground

I know that up is the general direction of-a where I

gotta go

to get the best view, there's a lotta rotten beams that

I gotta

get rid of, gonna sheetrock up, gonna order some steel

I try to build the perfect model of-a who I wanna be

There's an ideal person hiding, lurking, waiting inside

of me

Shoring up the sides, pillars hold me up

Mortar me here, mortar me there

Gonna need stronger underwear uh-huh

to keep this spine upright

Reaching to the sky, stone by stone

A character flaw will bring it all down

Gonna have to call the mason 'round uh-huh

and sturdy up the ground
