Down In Diamonds

(album: Born Again - 2006)

I've been high for so long
I can't feel my toes, they've gone numb
I've been stoned and rocked on
Kicked with the butt of life like a shotgun

I've been struck by lightning not once
But twice in my life
I was tucked, thrown away
Before I was old enough to pray

Mother, may you rest in peace
Daddy's got someone else he'd rather be

Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Help me, I'm drowning in silence
Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Down in diamonds somewhere
Down in diamonds again

I've been hurt for so long
Feeling love is far gone
I've been bad since I was two
When all I needed was you

Mother, may you rest in peace
Daddy's got someone else he'd rather be

Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Help me, I'm drowning in silence
Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Down in diamonds somewhere

This town is killing me with all its marshmallow faces
This town is bringing me down, down, down
Someone pull my head from the rain
No more tragedy and pain, yeah yeah

Mother, may you rest in peace
Daddy's got someone else he'd rather be

Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Help me, I'm drowning in silence
Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Down in diamonds somewhere

This town is killing me, yeah

Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Help me, I'm drowning in silence
Help me, I'm down in diamonds
Down in diamonds somewhere

This town is killing me with all its marshmallow faces
This town is bringing me down, down, down
Down in diamonds again
