buried and resurrected myself
just to shy away, over and over again
I refused to embrace my birthing pains
I thought I would break
slow growth but I'm growing
I'm growing
oh, but look at the time
just when I decide to come out and play,
the sun's going down
but I think I can make my own light now
slow growth but I'm growing
I'm growing
slow arrival but I'm coming
I'm coming

Diamonds

I gave myself over to the light
a ritual I derived from my decision to stay alive
crush me down and I will explode in your eyes
the world falls in and swallows me whole
the pressure and heat, over time, forms the mold
but diamonds will arise from inside to shine the light
the diamonds will arise to shine

we spend so much time
telling ourselves lies
rewriting the facts and ignoring the signs
just to find a way to cope
bury it down, down to where you can’t see
but it still cries out
it still cries out
deep down, it still cries out
can’t you hear it now…
you have to pay attention
feel your way through the dark
find your way to the light
and if it doesn’t feel right, you know
everything, everything of the truth you can’t see
so don’t second guess yourself
you don’t have to second guess yourself
follow your first mind
so don’t second guess yourself
you don’t have to second guess yourself
your instincts are right
all this time
you tried not to feel it deep down
but deep down you know the truth
all this time
you tried not to believe it deep down
but deep down you know the truth
you have all the signs
the red flags and green lights
deep down you know the truth
that what you feel
just like what you see
it’s real, so very real
deep down you know
your instincts are right
