Diamonds

from Fight Left In Me by Emma Cook

/

about

Diamonds is my rally cry for real human interaction, and how social media can fuel our insecurities and ultimately make us feel lonely.

lyrics

You had it all figured out
but you can’t afford this town
It’s not the stuff that dreams are made of
now that you’ve hit the ground
A sea of faces looking down
Trying to drown out the incessant sounds
Smiling pictures of yourself
Trying to squeeze blood from a stone

Don’t give me your diamonds they all look the same
Give me the parts that didn’t make it into the frame
No don’t give me your diamonds oh give me everything
Cuz I know what you are, you know what you are, I know what you are

You finally make the call
Try not to obsess at all
But no one wants to pick up their phone
And now your covers blown
When you really want to turn and run
And you need to reach out and touch someone
No you don’t need to pretend with me
When you feel like you’ve come undone

So don’t give me your diamonds they all look the same
Give me the parts that didn’t make it into the frame
No don’t give me your diamonds, give me everything
Cuz I know what you are, you know what you are, I know what you are
When everything is easy, when everything is as it should be
