about

Diamond Eyed is a song about recovery: the aftermath of a disaster and the final realization of its toxicity. One bad decision can lead to months of picking up the pieces.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
You built a village
In the walled off part of my mind
You're so capricious
Leadin' me to leave it all behind
And I was sittin' with you
Playin' on the threshold and your deep end beckoned to me
And you were lyin' right there, and you were lyin' then too

[Chorus]
You grew flowers in my lungs
Now I can't breathe
And you put diamonds in my eyes
Now I can't see
And there never was a time, never was a time
Lost on me
You may make me beautiful
But nonetheless it hurts inside 'cause I can't breathe

[Verse 2]
I found my mission
As you pushed and prodded at me
I found the vision
Of who I wanted to be
And I've lived so many lives
Since he who knew you and the walls you tempted came down
And I'm so much better off without instant heartbreak and the bells you threatened to sound

[Verse 3]
And in the moment
We were lost and wanted to be
And in the daylight
Sometimes you rise as memories to keep
But in these six broken months
That I got to know you, I discovered one thing as true:
When it comes to you, when it comes to me
You're better off as memories, not good ones, don't you see, oh

[Chorus]
You grew flowers in my lungs
Now I can't breathe
And you put diamonds in my eyes
Now I can't see
And there never was a time, never was a time
Lost on me
You may make me beautiful
But nonetheless it hurts inside 'cause I can't breathe
You grew flowers in my lungs
Now I can't breathe
And you put diamonds in my eyes
Now I can't see
And there never was a time, never was a time
Lost on me
You may make me beautiful
But nonetheless it hurts inside 'cause I can't breathe
