Sal Mastrocola - Black Diamond lyrics

If ever you thought there for a minute that I actually felt alive That would be a lie Pa**ion and payment are often parallel lines You said I've got no fire inside Just doldrums and a 9 to 5 Talk to your mom she says it's better to lie Work at some job you don't like Get your wonder on the weekends or the nights And hope your hobbies keep you alive Well you never would've thought that You'd be feeling old and rusted Singing only from the corners Late 20s waking up dead Hooray hooray you're my black diamond Hey hooray I got faith that you won't break But you won't stay the same So get out while you still can They kicked you in the stomach Didn't count on thick skin Certain that you were wasted But they didn't waste you yet If ever you thought that I would lay down and die Bury my head in the sand for a while What I wanted was to show you Hooray hooray I'm a black diamond Hey hooray I'm a black diamond Carbon core and crystalline More than what you've seen Hooray hooray I'm a black diamond Hey hooray I'm a black diamond God damn right that I won't break Baby it's my day So get out while you still can It's gonna be a long walk but you're patient And your legs and arms and hands Are tickets to reanimation And anticipation swells, you gotta gotta start something You're never looking back again You were dumb enough to force my hand Scream in exclamation that you haven't lost it yet They were always right and you were always wrong Started out so young made you feel so old American tundra had freezer burned your soul In a midtown hole held your breath til you turned purple They were always right and you were always wrong Til ya hit the road til ya finally realized something Fire in your heart you couldn't help but start Could tear their world apart Diamond eyes all brilliant sparkle
