Diamonds in the Sand Songtext
von Futurist

How could I face the fear of losing everything
In the pursuit of a home built on quicksand?
My only wish is that I might linger all of my days above it

But how can we keep it here?
I don′t want to fall again beneath the weight
Of this heartache we've stayed in
There′s no guarantee that anybody else knows any better

Think I was bound to tell you it's all a lie
It's all illusory, the calcification
Of the visions in your eye

Fill our time with something tangible
Is it enough to count your presence alone?
We could do anything
Sometimes in dreams I find that place of peace
Where longing ends

There′s ash in the atmosphere, with looming hurricanes
Uncivil wars of broken parts and secondhand tanks and gasoline
It′s hard to see the light on the horizon


So why don't we disappear?
Untethered by the pain behind an age of reflections
It′s no man's land, a senseless tragedy
Is what I had to give worth a damn anymore?

But in time I′ll show you it's all a lie
Occult mythology, personifications
Of the bodies in the sky

Fill our time with something tangible
Is it enough to count your presence alone?
We could do anything
Sometimes in dreams I find that place of peace
Where longing ends

Fill our time with something tangible
It′s not enough to count your presence alone
Give in. The suffering, in time will ease
And you'll feel the release
From moving on

Don't write it off
It′s just a lesson from a bended place in time
And realize you′re born in free fall

Don't write it off
It′s just a lesson from a bended place in time
Reprised and mourned on the run


Don't write it off
I know you′re missing this
The moment seemed to rhyme
I've realized we′re fated to collide again

Don't write it off
It's just a lesson from a bended place in time
And realize you′re born

Everything you thought you wanted
Everywhere you wandered through the night
Whatever prize you found inside
Meant nothing without love

And every fear that kept you running
Everyone you wanted to awake
Would only bare their fangs for you
When up against the wall
