diamond

Lyrics

when i find myself awake, i'll put my thoughts down on a page, half-asleep i'll make a list, then read back all my greatest hits: - should meditate, - should work out more, - should read until my brain gets sore, - meet someone, - go far away, - try being socially less strange, that's how a diamond grows, you give yourself the right chance over time, don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, i cut at least half of my friends, but no one noticed or mentioned, i thought at last i'd breathe easy, but then i've thought a lot of things, hey new year, hey new you, you left so much low-hanging fruit, in the ring, a title fight, with only montage training time, that's how a diamond grows, you give yourself the right chance over time, don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, that's how a diamond grows, you reach as far as you can and hold tight, don't believe them if they try to tell you something different, they say a diamond grows with time, i believe it, cause i've seen it with my eyes, there's a guaranteed parade, of broken promises, if you expect some kind of miracle, you do what you can do, that's all, that's how a diamond grows, you give yourself the right chance over time, don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker, that's how a diamond grows, with time, don't believe them if they try to tell you something different
