Coal Makes Diamonds
Blue October

If I'm a desert my face is the wind

I know where I'm going and I know where I've been

You're the horizon and the wide open space

And I surround you caressing your face

There's not a limit to the things that I'd do

I'd give you stars but the stars wouldn't do

You're like the lava burning buried below

An eruption but too early to show

We are islands I hear our sirens

And so we wait (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

We wait (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

'Cause when pressure heightens

Our coal makes diamonds

And so we wait (wait, down, in front of me)

We wait (wait, down, wait, down)

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

With the flood comes shifting the soil

Our blood runs thicker than oil

It's like erosion cutting straight to the core

No human nature ever felt this before

And we become an unbreakable vow

I wanna hold you up, higher than most

Because it feels like flying out

We are islands I hear our sirens

And so we wait (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

We wait (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

'Cause when the pressure heightens

Our coal makes diamonds

And so we wait (wait, down, in front of me)

We wait (wait, down, wait, down)

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

(Wait, down)

We are islands I hear our sirens

And so we wait (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

We wait (wait, down, put it right in front of me)

'Cause when pressure heightens

Our coal makes diamonds

And so we wait (wait, down, in front of me)

We wait (wait, down, wait, down)

Wait, down, in front of me

Wait, down, in front of me

Wait, down, in front of me

Wait, down

Wait, down
