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 permanence

I'll send postcards I don't even mean

From here, the dim, the black 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

Deadbolt, 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 retreat

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
