The Gem Lyrics

Walking on water

A hot red glow

Gem now in sight and I won't let go

Wounded and frozen

My legs grow numb

Trapped in it's danger where I'm not loved

I'm surrounded

By sharks that look like me

Eating and eating but never full

I'm not leaving this place without you

I'm not leaving this place without you

I've done enough damage

I got something to prove

I'm not leaving this place without you

I feel like my life has found it's path

And I know that I can bring it back

(It doesn't matter at all)

And this gem has meant everything to me

Then why do I feel so empty inside?

I'm the killer of wounded pride

Self indulgent in the first degree

Don't tell me that I wasted my time

And the people that meant so much to me

I hear the haunted float in the sea

Reflections are faint

They look just like me

I can't go home

It will be in vain

Reach for the gem

As it sinks away

I'm not leaving this place without you

I said I'm not leaving this place without you

This cost me everything

I'm not leaving anything

Why do the things I love never pay?

How come everyone I ever loved never stay?

(I never left this island

I never built a raft

I never accomplished anything

I never have)

Trapped in a broken body

As the gulls pick away

I watch the sky grow older

I know my time has come

The stars are so much clearer

All this space

But no spot for me

All this space

But not for me
