[Verse 1: Male]
Chains on my neck, weighin' down my worth,
Every step forward, draggin' through the dirt.
Eyes on the prize, but the prize a mirage,
Mirror cracked, can't tell who's in charge.
[Chorus: Both]
Diamond dust, slipping through my hands,
Shattered dreams, can't build no plans.
Shine so bright, but it cuts too deep,
Diamond dust, can't hold, can't keep.
[Verse 2: Female]
Heart iced out, cold like December,
Letters you wrote, I don't wanna remember.
Lips spillin' secrets, venom in the prose,
Every "I love you" wrapped in thorns, it shows.
[Prechorus: Both]
Fingers grazed gold, but it burns my skin,
Every win feels hollow within.
[Chorus: Both]
Diamond dust, slipping through my hands,
Shattered dreams, can't build no plans.
Shine so bright, but it cuts too deep,
Diamond dust, can't hold, can't keep.
[Bridge: Male]
Caught in a loop, it's a diamond maze,
Gleam hypnotic, lost in the haze.
Every sparkle, it blinds, it binds,
The harder I grip, the faster it unwinds.
