Diamond Lyrics by Empty Country

Empty Country

2020

The day bled rain
I’m more than my thoughts
Beech trees shake water off
Like colossal dogs
I leave a me-shaped tunnel in the tawny fog

Let’s head upstate when
I get my advance
We’ll build our studio
Or just shoot at cans
You know your home is wherever I am

[Chorus]
I say awful things
‘Cause it makes you smile
With the empty glint
Of a diamond mine
“Life is mostly shit
You make it seem alright sometimes”

We’ll be East coast til
It all hits the fan
Gave us this world
Never said it was fair
Move to console you
But I’m nailed to the air

[Chorus]
I say awful things
‘Cause it makes you smile
With the empty glint
Of a diamond mine
"Life is mostly shit
You make it seem alright
Sometimes"

The yard is an ancient garden in a future age
Above the flagstones she’s hovering
Dreaming this present
She is tall and thin and totally terrifying

Hey, the distances
