Diamond Cutter - Double Eyelid

Diamond cutter, diamond cutter.

Enter the room and that was all it took

I burn my eyes to get a closer look

Diamond cutter

What secrets do you hide?

A toxic bloom of a new colour

Rose dipped in the blood of all the fallen lovers

So I make my way down, move a little closer

Compelled to speak but still my tongue is tied

Out on this ledge without a place to hide

Diamond cutter, diamond cutter.

you walk the razor line edging closer to a truth so fine through the artifice

that you wear so well close enough to speak but my moment slips away …

What secrets do you hide

Well I’d like to know why

My head, my heart, my wrist, my mouth, my lungs

I’m primed to give them all to a …

Diamond cutter, diamond cutter.

You whisper to my mind a truth unheard a thought divine like a sailor that’s

just hit dry land I can’t help the way I’m falling — to the sand

What in the world has happened to me

Stepped out to the edge and you were all I could see

Show me the chink in the armour, the heart that can break

Before you take it away from me …

Diamond cutter, diamond cutter, diamond cutter, diamond cutter!

Diamond cutter, diamond cutter.

Black box of my heart it has been compromised

Collect my thoughts

and I’m still paralyzed

Diamond cutter, who should I be this time?

You pushed my mind right through the strangest door

It won’t get closed again

So I follow you down, as my world caves in around me

Did I know that it would turn out this way?

tied to this rack without a card to play

Diamond cutter, diamond cutter.

have mercy on the soul of a tired man with no control I’ve been living on this

edge for years one little push and the ground beneath me disappears

What in the world has happened to me

I dreamed of this moment and now it’s reality

Show me the crack in the armour, the heart that can break

Before you take it away from me …

Diamond cutter, diamond cutter, diamond cutter, diamond cutter!
