Coal Makes Diamonds lyrics

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

[Chorus:]

We are islands

Hear our sirens

And so we wade

(Lay it down, put it right in front of me)

We wade

(Lay it down, put it right in front of me)

'Cause when pressure heightens

Our coal makes diamonds

And so we wade

(Lay it down, in front of me)

We wade

(Lay it down, lay it down)

With a flood comes a shift in 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 love

Because it feels like flying

[Chorus x2]

Lay it down in front of me

Lay it down in front of me

Lay it down in front of me

Lay it down

Lay it down
