Diamond

So I’ll be the voice — You’ll be the silence
I’d fill the world — You’d trade it for the old
Would one drop in the emptiness suffice?
I’ll be the coal — so be my diamond
I’d shape the earth — you’d bend before the world
Just one drop in the emptiness suffices
Will your wide mouth and your 'perfect' will rule?
I’ll raise your voice
We’ll build the perfect world
So don’t look down
Weld your arms around me
A path through a maze
As long as I’m around
The clouds will never drown
You said that you’d keep me alive
You said that we’d breathe in a withering dream
Run fingers through sand
Don’t be silent
Our world is one base
We won’t vaporize
The drought took the end
We’ll rule this world
Far from the two lines
We’ll lead the world from a far site
Far from where our tools lie
So don’t look down
Weld your arms around me
You’ll never lose face
As long as I’m around
Clouds will never drown
You said that you’d keep me alive
You said that we’d live in a withering dream
