DIAMOND IN THE RUFF Lyrics by Aaron Ross

SHADOWBAND (rarities from 2010​-​2012)

2023

You say you want an eye for an eye
Girl, why you got to hate so long?
You say you want to make him lose his mind
What's the difference if your rights are wrongs?
You keep marching to the same damned song
Sometimes bound for glory
You're the story of the week
Calmness was the storm
Before you were so tongue and cheek
If you're living in the city
Or you're living in this town
You can't replace the meaning
With the evening of your gown
You can prophesy with credit cards
And swoon the swooners bare
But whеn you go to sleep tonight
You'll still feel unprepared
You're not what you think you arе x2
You say you wanna be understood
What's the point of being heard at all?
The world's not your playground, kid
They don't care about you like I do
If you keep on dreaming
Tell me when will you wake up
Magic has you gleaming
Like a diamond in the rough
If you're dressed to kill high on your heels
Are you in any pain?
Plaster you with Paris
And you still will feel insane
You can be in vogue and out of vogue
Vanity's no fair
And when you go to sleep tonight
You'll still feel unprepared
You're not what you think you are x2
So come on, girl, no more looking through that empty haze
Let the peace hit your body
Let the moment slip away
Oh, come on, girl, no more looking through that empty haze
Let the love hit your body
Let the moment slip away
Oh, come on, girl, no more looking through that empty haze
Let the joy hit your body
Let the moment slip away
