Yeah… uh, blinded by the shine… Treasure poisoned by pressure. Poisoned from the bottom where the floors are dirt and mud, Cold nights, no heat, full of hearts haunted by bullies and blood, False starts, loss dips deep, they need a hand to hold, Tormented by a world run by thugs, glitter, and gold. I didn't know when I found love, I could bankroll a flawed game, Shopping for diamonds, meant more than I knew how to explain, Jewelers talk big game, but the words don’t sustain, I won't ask, "marry me," to be built on a foundation of pain. Poison in my chest but I never fold, A proposal—turned to a story told, If heart warms by blood diamonds, it's really cold, So cold, so poisonous… I can't let that poison us. Pressure makes diamonds, in world thoughtless and dark, Tarnished by invisible blood comes priceless painful art, Now when it shines, I only see scars, I don’t fold, no, I just raise the bar. Pressure makes diamonds, but I won't break, I gotta stand for something, I won’t hesitate, They praise the shimmer while the children bleed, I won't be blinded by the gawling greed. This symbol of love can switch when we really know, I want fertile ground for our love to grow and grow, But I kept it quiet, this false treasure could consume my soul, Not ever silenced, we uphold true love til we grow old! No doubts weigh on us, no shiny lies to hide, Every symbol of our bond has an untarnished shine, We keep our promise to each other to the end, and no one had to bleed on the losing end. Poison in my chest but I never fold, A proposal—turned to a story told, If heart warms by blood diamonds, it's really cold, So cold, so poisonous… I can't let that poison us. Pressure makes diamonds, in world thoughtless and dark, Tarnished by invisible blood comes priceless painful art, Now when it shines, I only see scars, I don’t fold, no, I just raise the bar. Pressure makes diamonds, but I won't break, I gotta stand for something, I won’t hesitate, They praise the shimmer while the children bleed, I won't be blinded by the gawling greed. The mass marketed illusion won't win again, Every fact, every scar, just sharpens the lens, I don’t excuse, I won't be bent, I was built right, no ice will ever freeze my innocence. Pressure makes diamonds, in world thoughtless and dark, Tarnished by invisible blood comes priceless painful art, Now when it shines, I only see scars, I don’t fold, no, I just raise the bar! Pressure makes diamonds, but I won't break, I gotta stand for something, I won’t hesitate, They praise the shimmer while the children bleed, I won't be blinded by appawlling, gawling greed. If heart warms by blood diamonds, it's really cold, So cold, so poisonous… I can't let that poison us.
