Socratic - A Diamond In A World Of Coal lyrics

rate me

Overdressed in a box with it's life overhead.

Its friends are in snapshots.

I would hate if the last time I was ever seen

was from beggars on their knees.

I lived in between a funeral home and childrens park.

Out one window I saw laughter.

Out the other I saw suits.

Spare them the sight of a body all used.

Comfortably laid in clothes you would never wear.

Your eyes are closed shut, even though they cannot see.

They broke a bone or two just to adjust the body.

Once had a doll that was pure as the snow in thread.

The bags under her eyes, they matches clothes that were chosen

just to compensate how terribly they shined.

She was a prize that made the sun and the moon fight over which one would cast the shadow.

Which one would keep her company.

I fooled myself in thinking I knew you.

But all I know were glassy eyes,

is this the way you gain your youth?

A sweet hangover at my service.

Go so far under the influence you'll make blacker bags under your eyes.

So far you become underground.

So far you will never realize your a diamond in a world of coal.
