Diamond In The Coal

Iʼm a habit

Youʼre some running joke

Iʼm not worth repeating

Youʼre fixed but not broke

But in that nothing

To where I was led

I searched for your reasons

But found mine instead

I had my eyes wide open

My mouth was dry

I saw the sunlight choking

On blackened skies

And when the dark came crashing

I was swallowed whole

And in the moonlight flashing

A diamond in the coal

Cursed are hands that

Touched on your skin

And cursed are the eyes

That have seen where youʼve been

But out of curses

Old sailors were shown

Thereʼs more than one wind to

Carry you home
