Coal Makes Diamonds
If I'm a desert, my face is the windI know where I'm going and I know where I've beenYou're the horizon and the wide open spaceAnd I surround you, caressing your face
There's not a limit to the things that I'd doI'd give you stars, but the stars wouldn't doYou're like the lava burning buried belowAn eruption but too early to show
[Chorus:]We are islandsHear our sirensAnd so we wade(Lay it down, put it right in front of me)We wade(Lay it down, put it right in front of me)'Cause when pressure heightensOur coal makes diamondsAnd so we wade(Lay it down, in front of me)We wade(Lay it down, lay it down)
With a flood comes a shift in the soilOur blood runs thicker than oilIt's like erosion cutting straight to the coreNo human nature ever felt this beforeAnd we become an unbreakable vowI wanna hold you up, higher than loveBecause it feels like flying
[Chorus x2]
Lay it down in front of meLay it down in front of meLay it down in front of meLay it downLay it down
