[Intro: deep trombone drone, shamanic drums, whispered] Pressure made me. Pressure made me. [Verse 1: intimate, low, dry acoustic guitar + kick] You held me like coal, cold in your palm Counted my cracks, said I had no charm Left me in dust, deep underground Thought I would vanish without a sound [Pre-Chorus: trombone enters, slow build] But darkness don't break me, darkness makes A different kind of soul it takes [Chorus: FULL BEAT, heavy trap drums, sitar sparkle, confident chest voice - CATCHY HOOK] I'm a diamond now - hard - unbreakable Cut you when you hold me wrong I'm a diamond now - bright - untamable Light that you can never own Can't treat a diamond like dirt, like trash no more I rose from the dirt, now watch me glow I'm a diamond now [Verse 2: add subtle sitar lick] You liked me soft, you liked me bent Now my edges cut where your fingers went Every fracture is a facet, learn to see Every scar's a mirror, looking back at me [Bridge: BREAKDOWN - only heavy drums + deep trombone + spoken chant, witchy] I don't shine for you. I don't break for you. I was buried. I was rooted. I was forged. Try to step on me - you'll bleed. I am not yours to keep. [Final Chorus: BIG, all instruments, ambient, powerful] I'm a diamond now - hard - unbreakable My soul's got a light of its own I'm a diamond now - bright - untamable Queen of the stones you threw Can't treat a diamond like dirt, like trash no more I'm not what I was before I'm a diamond now [Outro: sitar drone, trombone fade, whispered] Pressure made me... Diamond now.
