Black Diamond Lyrics by No Nets

2016

If ever you thought there for a minute that I actually felt alive
That would be a lie
Passion and payment are often parallel lines
You said I’ve got no fire inside
Just doldrums and a 9 to 5
Talk to your mom she says it’s better to lie
Work at some job you don’t like
Get your wonder on the weekends or the nights
And hope your hobbies keep you alive


Well you never would’ve thought that
You’d be feeling old and rusted
Singing only from the corners
Late 20s waking up dead


Hooray hooray you’re my black diamond
Hey hooray I got faith that you won’t break
But you won’t stay the same


So get out while you still can
They kicked you in the stomach
Didn’t count on thick skin
Certain that you were wasted
But they didn’t waste you yet


If ever you thought that I would lay down and die
Bury my head in the sand for a while
What I wanted was to show you


Hooray hooray I’m a black diamond
Hey hooray I’m a black diamond
Carbon core and crystalline
More than what you’ve seen


Hooray hooray I’m a black diamond
Hey hooray I’m a black diamond
God damn right that I won’t break
Baby it’s my day


So get out while you still can
It’s gonna be a long walk but you’re patient
And your legs and arms and hands
Are tickets to reanimation
And anticipation swells, you gotta gotta start something
You’re never looking back again
You were dumb enough to force my hand
Scream in exclamation that you haven’t lost it yet
They were always right and you were always wrong
Started out so young made you feel so old
American tundra had freezer burned your soul
In a midtown hole held your breath til you turned purple


They were always right and you were always wrong
Til ya hit the road til ya finally realized something
Fire in your heart you couldn’t help but start
Could tear their world apart
Diamond eyes all brilliant sparkle
