Diamond

(앨범: Surviving - 2019)

When I find myself awake
I'll put my thoughts down on a page
Half-asleep I'll make a list
Then read back all my greatest hits:
Should meditate
Should work out more
Should read until my brain gets sore
Meet someone
Go far away
Try being socially less strange

That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Give yourself the right chance over time
Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker

I cut at least half of my friends
But no one noticed or mentioned
I thought at last I'd breathe easy
But then I've thought a lot of things
Hey new year, hey new you
You left so much low-hanging fruit
You're in the ring for the title fight
With only montage training time

That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Give yourself the right chance over time
Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker
That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Reach as far as you can then hold tight
Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different

They say a diamond grows with time
I believe it
'Cause I've seen it with my eyes
Well, there's a guaranteed parade of broken promises
If you expect some kind of miracle
You do what you can do
That's all (all, all)

That's how a diamond grows, yeah
Give yourself the right chance over time
Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker
That's how a diamond grows with time
Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different
