Three Diamonds

 Three Diamonds


history is in our scars

teeth trace where I have been

the future is in the stars

I'm in the ditch again


made a ladder out of weeds

and a halo out of sound

it gets darker where it leads

search for stars underground


if I do everything you say

you promise I will fly

hold on another day

hold on another lie

let you inside


this can never be my fault

your sweet words sucked me in

and I'm feeding from the salt

found underneath your skin


I never learned much from pain

diamond eyes shine for me

carving stones with your name

you give me history


if I do everything you say

you promise I will fly

hold on another day

hold on another lie

let you inside

let you inside

so come inside


if I do everything you say

you promise I won't die

hold on another day

tomorrow I will fly

I step outside
