[Heavy Tribal drums intro]
[verse1]
It started below
Hiding all of me
Not letting it show
Every interaction I tiptoed
Every open door I’ve closed
Kept in the dark
My own spot was mine
Being alone, I’m better… it’s fine
Yea it’s fine
Yea it’s fine
I sprinted to the finish
If it meant I went home
I couldn’t change
I didn’t want to change
I was happy in my little dome
All I’ve seen and been shown
Only settled my reason to not condone
People and relationships
Yea
I’m here for me anyway
At the end of the day
It’s all
[chorus]
Dirt and diamonds
In a pocket of black its shining
Carrying me out it’s something divine
Little voices in the background begging me to continue the climb
And to hang on till the last line
I bleed being me I know you’ve seen
All the times I’ve cried
In change to rearrange you and I
[GUITAR SOLO]
My confusion I spread
Unrelenting in my venting
All the emotions making my head spin
The anger and distain shedding me new skin
Yea I’m vulgar, disgusting, and aggressive
but I make movement when others stop
Every step and stride I do by your side
Never letting go
Looking at my face in that fire light glow
Is that a warrior or a demon
Why is it still there clinging
At night it’s always visiting
[chorus]
Dirt and diamonds
In a pocket of black its shining
Carrying me out it’s something divine
Little voices in the background begging me to continue the climb
And to hang on till the last line
I bleed being me I know you’ve seen
All the times I’ve cried
In change to rearrange you and I
[GUITAR SOLO]
I’m not much but I’m here
My violence is shear
Learning a new type of fear
Like mirrors looking at me in your tears
Yea
I’m dirty
Dirty
So dirty
So so dirty
Yea
But I shine
Like
[SCREAM]
DIRT AND DIAMONDS
AAAAGGGGHHHHHH
DIRT AND DIAMONDS
[breakdown]
I break myself down
Till that feeling is gone
And all the regret disappears in the dawn
Not knowing what I did wrong
But I’m told that I did
So please tell me
What I did to loose my right to live
My pain seems to have dividends
So am I dirt or diamond
I don’t know
But it’s between so close
yea
Dirt
Dirt
Diamonds
Diamonds
Dirt and diamonds
In a pocket of black its shining
Carrying me out it’s something divine
Little voices in the background begging me to continue the climb
And to hang on till the last line
I bleed being me I know you’ve seen
All the times I’ve cried
In change to rearrange you and I
