Diamonds and Graphite

The day I tried to soak up all the light
Erroneous; to push my ego was a fight
The day I tried to soak up all the light
Brroneous; wanted to shine so fine and bright
Fine and bright

Diamonds and graphite, both are carbonic
Reflect, shine or gulp down light
Diamonds and graphite, dynamic in it
Or some kind of ego-trip, alright?

So what remains? Dirt and a black, coaly briquette
So what remains? A man without glare, stained and fat
Fat

Diamonds and graphite, both are carbonic
Reflect, shine or gulp down light
Diamonds and graphite, dynamic in it
Or some kind of ego-trip, alright?

So what is gained? All alone be my greatest fan
To reflect heaven, I'd rather be a diamond then
Be a diamond then

Diamonds and graphite, we're all carbonic
Reflect, shine or gulp down light
Diamonds and graphite, dynamic in it
Or some kind of ego-trip
