Diamond Bleed

Verse 1

Heavy head

Resting on a hollow metal throne

Dirt underneath the fingernails of a king

Stretching thin

The water is salt

My kinfolk are drying in the sun

Hungry for a different brand of truth

Chorus

Pressure makes a diamond bleed

Pressure makes a diamond bleed

I'm walking on the edge of the blade

Walking on the edge of the blade

Everything you want

Everything you need

Is drowning in the middle of the sea

Post-Chorus

Oh la la

Carry the weight

Oh la la

Watch it rotate

Verse 2

Dusty floors

Shifting under cracked leather boots

Mama said the rent is overdue again

Fighting ghosts

With a pocket full of loose change

I'm just a passenger in this skin

Driving straight through the barricade

Broken bones and bitter blame

Same old story

New chapter in a book of lies

Tearing out the pages one by one

Chorus

Pressure makes a diamond bleed

Pressure makes a diamond bleed

I'm walking on the edge of the blade

Walking on the edge of the blade

Everything you want

Everything you need

Is drowning in the middle of the sea

Bridge

Tell me where the heart goes

Tell me where the wind blows

Tell me where the time goes

Searching for a fountain in the desert

Crying for a savior in the gutter

Praying for a penny in the rain

Left me cold

Left me wild

Left me bold

Chorus

Pressure makes a diamond bleed

Pressure makes a diamond bleed

I'm walking on the edge of the blade

Walking on the edge of the blade

Everything you want

Everything you need

Is drowning in the middle of the sea

Post-Chorus

Oh la la

Carry the weight

Oh la la

Watch it rotate

Outro

Still breathing

Still hoping

Still hurting

Just another man in the mud

Counting stars from the bottom of the well
