Diamond Never Mined

Verse 1

No one took your money

No one stole your whole heart whole

Then climbed into a stolen plane

And vanished in the dark below

What name would you even offer

Into the hollow in between

Here and gone and yours and no one's

What color could you paint the unseen

Pre-Chorus

This shade of something less than living

Sharp as cut glass held to light

You keep turning it and turning it

Until you lose the shine

Chorus

Let it rest unbroken

Pure like a diamond never mined

Keep the fire far away from it

Clean and untouchd by time

Oh the turning turning of your hands

Has crushed enough tonight

Verse 2

Better leave the whole thing sleeping

Don't wake what cannot speak

Your magpie fingers always picking

At the bruises on the week

And who are you to whisper

That I lost the whole wide world

When the truth you never carried

Was the weight of every pearl

Pre-Chorus

This ache you call a story

Is just your shadow made of glass

You polish it so carefully

Believing it will last

Chorus

Let it rest unbroken

Pure like a diamond never mined

Keep the fire far away from it

Clean and untouchd by time

Oh the turning turning of your hands

Has crushed enough tonight

Bridge

Softer than a held breath

Deeper than the undertow

What you never named

Is what you'll never know

Let it go

Let it go

Untempered by the tedious heat

Of the words you use to grieve

Chorus

Let it rest unbroken

Pure like a diamond never mined

Keep the fire far away from it

Clean and untouchd by time

Oh the turning turning of your hands

Has crushed enough tonight

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Let it rest

Let it rest

Mm
