lyrics

You were thrown across the sky to mirror diamonds in your eyes,
But you let your body slip.
And while the demons were twisting you felt a pleasure bursting,
So you threw your heart away.

Because all we know isn't what our heart will give us,
So we take what we can get.
When all your life you were waiting for someone to tell you when you lost the diamond eyes.

You were fed upon the ancient silhouettes of thousand long lost lives,
And though your seeds were scattered quickly,
The demons still when digging, to take them to the other side.

Because all we see was dreamt up by the brightest angel,
And yet we burn our heavens down.
When all your life you were looking for somewhere to buy your diamond eyes.

You keep running faster like you got some place to go,
But when you're alone,
You scatter your pieces all across the floor,
Just looking for those diamond lies.

But no more will I hail to the beast,
Because inside they want us to believe that beauty dies at birth.
