Diamonds

My lifelong enemies become the messengers
Teaching me how to live and love the world
With the strangeness of it’s curve
I read the meaning, then lost my nerve
I shoved dirt in every crack in every word

I have photographs of me playing games
Caught in moments of joy without shame
I learned to doubt that feeling
Taught myself that i was hearing
Only voices that want me disappeared

Then I heard you shout
We’re alive to let the light out
The wall opened a crack
Now I can't help but let the light out

For every line that’s on your face i wonder why
Did they come from when you smiled or when you cried
Did you forget that you’re a diamond?
It’s the cuts that make you shining
When you start to break I’ll be here listening

I know you’re gonna sing
We’re alive to let the light out
The wall opens a crack
And you can’t help but let the light out

I know i heard you shout
We’re alive to let the light out
The wall opens a crack
You can’t help but let the light out

I know you’re gonna sing
We’re alive to let the light out
The wall opens a crack
We can’t help but let the light out
