She'd laid the roses there
So perfectly positioned
So painfully quiet
The way I thought I wanted

And there they were
Shinning back at me
The same way that they shone
the day we first met

Embraced in them
With no hair and teeth
Just lying there
Praying hands, tilted feet

Collapsed in what I
knew would come of me
If I kept trying
Looking for you and me

Hidden gold in my soul
Fuck... if I dig I die
Numbed vision of a free world
Fuck... all that digging for a lie

Diamonds are forever
Diamonds and only diamonds
