Diamond in the Rough Lyrics

You're a diamond in the rough

A needle in the haystack

Tougher than tough

You're gonna find your way back

Home again

I like to be here when I can

But all my friends are dead

Got caught, playing with the angels, silly us thinking they could save us

Odysseus, Isle of the sirens, plug your ears, Listen to the silence

Sisyphus, push it up with a violence, and remember to smile

And that, it's an art, not a science

You're lying, straight through your teeth, silly us, thinking we could sleep

But the noise outside is riotous, praying for the silence, you know we can't deny this, what is inside of us

It's time to light it all on fire

Memories can't run far, they're all forsworn in the graveyard, skeletons in the closet, bodies buried in the Backyard, Mausoleum, monument to our sins, it's forgotten, the love you have forsaken, it's time,

To light it all on fire
