Diamond Lost

There's a diamond lost inside the earth

Deep underground within the dirt

I dig and dig 'til my hands burn

But I'll never find her

If the season keeps like this

Bone dry, permanent

I'll send postcards I don't even mean

From here, the dim, the back unseen

So where do I go

If this is what's to be

How will it end?

Without destiny

There's a diamond lost inside the earth

Deep underground within the dirt

I dig and dig 'til my hands burn

But I'll never find her

For some time now

Love wanders out further and further

Dead bolt lockdown

And they swear that the key was lost somehow

Where do I go?

If this is what's to be

How will it end?

Without destiny

I'm complicit

Unable to retract

So, how will it end?

What about me

There's a diamond lost inside the earth

I dig and dig 'til my hands burn

There's a diamond lost inside the earth

I dig and dig 'til my hands burn

But I'll never find her
