Verse 1 [Luke Thee Element]:
yo, my heart's filled with ice, not my wrist or my necklace
my mirror's my escape from my life being reckless

a therapy session to get me back in my zone,
get me off of these pills and back to where I belong
it's been a long trip, now I just feel like heading home

turn the stereo up, remove the cord from the phone
see the smoke in the bong disappear in my lungs,
see the images of what's done and what I've become (a monster)

I can't help what I see when I dream
the only person that can fix what is broken is me
the shattered pieces of my CD show what I've seen,

just 16 on the street corner high like a fiend
life's not all what it seems, I know some others agree,
probably know a hundred people that have stood where iv been,

feel like the end of the pistol means all end to the pain,
but it's not cause this world will come and get you again (he's watching)


Chorus [Jesse Negraeff]:
Just a grain of sand that falls through the hourglass of time
(time, time, time, time)

Diamonds & Rust
Ocean waves crashing on the rocks
washing away these ghosts of mine (ghosts of mine)

I'm all that's left behind

Verse 2 [St. Kelly]:

I wish that I could lift the burden, I mean your health and all
I still come around, but does it help at all?
I know you can't buy love, but can you sell it though?

until it's up for sale, I guess we'll never know
some things are better left unsaid,
some diaries are better left unread

my inclinations of the secrets that you kept..
but nah, I don't wanna go there,
who made that bed can lie in it alone

I'm not pointing fingers, just saying that I know
no avoiding stingers,
when your hands in the bee's nest, looking for honey,

oh, you gonna find it though, that's what's funny
it's all there for the taking, whoever coined that saying
never knew how good giving feels, am I mistaken?

Lord forgive 'em if that's part of your religion,
haunted by the future cause it's backwards how we're living


Chorus

diamonds,

diamonds and rust
