Diamonds and Gold Dust

[Verse 1]
I never thought these things would let me go
I had a chain around me, had a chain around me
There was payment that I thought I owed
A debt I couldn't pay to be free

[Pre-Chorus]
But I wanted two fairy tales
I was missing my sanity
I dare myself to pay the bitter price
I’m tantalized, damn it caused too much

[Chorus]
Diamonds and gold dust
They can't keep a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Won't you leave, they won’t let me free

[Verse 2]
Breaking free is not for everyone
But there are other like me, then the others like me
There's a sentence right before the storm
Got to pull myself from this stream

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the heavy clouds roll on in
Rain on down, save my sanity
I dare myself to pay the bitter price
I'm tantalized, damn it caused too much

[Chorus]
Diamonds and gold dust
They can't keep a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Won't you leave, they won't let me free

[Bridge]
Oh, you can't keep me down with diamonds
You can't keep me down with diamonds
You can’t keep me down with diamonds
You can’t keep me down with diamonds

Don't think I will ever try a second time, oh

[Chorus]
Diamonds and gold dust
They can’t keep a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Won't you leave, they won't let me free
Diamonds and gold dust
They'll never get a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Burn it down and break it free

[Outro]
I never thought these things would let me go
I had a chain around me, had a chain around me
There was payment that I thought I owed
A debt I couldn’t pay to be free
