Diamond

Intro: "In this there is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything. And to understand is to transform what is." “You have to be a light to yourself–not a light of a professor, or a historian, psychologist, or the light of Jesus or the light of the Buddha–you have to enlighten yourself. In a world that is impossibly becoming dark.” I know that what's in front of me Is a reflection of what is inside of me And I see I need to be myself 'Cause it's so lonely in the eyes of someone else And I feel, oh how I feel Yeah I feel and I always will I starve to live free from fear To free myself before I disappear I am forever more than just surviving This is my life and this life is my diamond My time, your time, our time is running out My time, your time, our time is running out My time, your time, our time is running out My time, your time, our time is running out

I know you, because you're just like me Always questioning every single thing Never giving up without a fight Because for you, your resistance is a way of life Young and angry, with every right to be Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread Looked past by most, looked down on by all We don't need them, it's forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all A fire burns inside you, fueled by everything That you've ever been through Every battle you fight goes uphill But nothing can ever break your iron will Young and angry, with every right to be Bent but not broken, hanging on by a thread Looked past by most, looked down on by all We don't need them, it's forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all (Woah, woah) Forever us against them all We don't need them!

"People's need to protect... People's need to protect... People's need to protect... People's need to protect... People's need to protect... People's need to protect... ...their own egos knows no bounds. They will lie, cheat, steal, kill, do whatever it takes." "There is no such thing as an external enemy,... ...no matter what that voice in your head is telling you ...no matter what that voice in your head is telling you ...no matter what that voice in your head is telling you ...no matter what that voice in your head is telling you ...no matter what that voice in your head is telling you ...no matter what that voice in your head is telling you." I don't think I could ever let you go But if you stay, I know that I'll lose control And all the things that we've been through I can't believe all I've done just to protect you Suffocated by the thin line I walk between Who I am and who I think I should be Pointed every finger I could, still nothing's right to me I am the enemy Such pain Climbs like ivy From my feet to my face Such pain Climbs like ivy From my feet to my face My only enemy is me My only enemy is me My only enemy is me "Your greatest enemy is your own inner perception, is your own ignorance, is your own ego."

My friend, what has you so troubled? Why have you turned life into such a struggle? I see it in you no matter how hard it tries to hide The war in your heart, the fire in your eyes I can't follow, trust me I've tried My path is lit by a brighter light So I will always sing humanity's song We may fall, but we will carry on We may fall, but we will carry on May these words ring loud We may fall, but we will carry on May these words ring loud We may fall, but we will carry on May these words ring loud We may fall, but we will carry on May these words ring loud We may fall, but we will carry on We may fall, but we will carry on We may fall, but we will carry on We may fall, but we will carry... "You see, we have made life into a hideous thing, living. Life has become a battle, which is an obvious fact, constant fight, fight, fight. And to go into this question of what is death, what lies beyond death, becomes rather meaningless if you don't know how to live."

For the most part I think I've got you figured out You walk around like you know what this is all about Will one of you idiots please just say something new? Yeah well, you say "fuck the world"; we say "fuck you" But you've been nowhere and you've seen nothing It's your stupid stare, it tells me everything If you can't beat them, try harder 'cause we're not going down You better give back or get out Give back or get out For the most part I know what you're so mad about We don't belong, never did, and you want us out You've become such a slave to your own mouth You better give back or get out Give back or get out "I see so much focus on music these days, and not on the words being said, and I think that in order to communicate with hardcore, the lyrics must be at the forefront of every song" Same game You're doing nothing new All the same You think no one's laughing at you? I've always stood behind every word I've ever said All talk, no walk Empty words from empty heads

She thinks, "Another day I'm left to drag my broken soul Through the streets, into work and school, then back home" Not a man in her life that makes her feel whole Because it's the men in her life that filled her with those holes "What have I done to deserve this?" To face a racing fist that screams, "You think I like this, bitch?!" Don't you worry, my darling, mommy just tripped She can feel her sanity starting to slip So she dreams, if I could just go... Beyond the sun Where I can't feel pain Where I could just fade away Beyond the sun Where no one lives but me Help me Help me Entangled in a web of complete misery Complete misery Her cries are stifled by a fear of what he might do to the kids "If I just stick it out this might end soon" "This is all my fault If I had just done what he said, I could have avoided this all" And still she dreams, if I could just go... Beyond the sun Where I can't feel pain Where I could just fade away Beyond the sun Where no one lives but me Help me Help me Beyond the sun Help me Help me Beyond the sun Help me Help me How can we let this be? Our sisters and mothers are dying How can we let this be? Our mothers are dying How can we let this be? How can we let this be? "If someone is gay, you can’t force them to be straight. If they’re straight, you can’t force them to be gay. You can’t force people to be something they’re not. But some people try anyway. Now, we've got a church in Connecticut who's going to try to drive the gayness out of someone with an exorcism. Wow, is this a stupid idea!" "There's a story I want to talk about here, Lewis. It’s the 21st century and we live in the United States, and a 70 year old man has been stoned to Death because the Bible says that you should stone gay people."

I can't imagine how terrifying it must be To live your life in a box scared shitless of everything You're the product of the world that's fed to you You hate those who live a life you're not used to (You're looking for more) You follow a whore On fire for Christ but your life is lukewarm Evil and foul to the lives you dismiss I hate the fact that I let myself be pushed to this This is a place of acceptance Not a place of repentance So save your breath You homophobic shithead One day you will pay your debt, but until then I'll fight to undo every word that you've said And every time you lift your hand to cast your stone I'll find you and shove it back down your throat I'm through acting civil Now you know how I feel "Why don't you leave Why don't you run and find a God who likes you?"

Day in and day out Shat on and kicked in The world's garbage you've been sifting Mind like a wrath, flame and flood Done talking, no one's listening They pushed me, they pushed me I'll rip this place at the seams They did this, not me Inflicted with this disease I'm screaming "God, help me" I scream as loud as I can This is another life Built upon the sand You've hit bottom and you're still sinking So small and you're still shrinking What can you do? You've gone from alone to completely see-through Let's all watch while the hammer falls They pushed me, they pushed me I'll rip this place at the seams They did this, not me Inflicted with this disease I'm screaming "God, help me" I scream as loud as I can This is another life Built upon the sand I understand you I understand you "When you're screaming at the top of your lungs and no one hears you, what are you supposed to do?" I understand you I understand you I understand you I understand you I understand I understand you I understand I understand you I understand I understand you I understand I understand You

Bottled up, broken down day after endless day Falsified for the chance just to stay alive They look to words just for love and protection but We just throw them away Tell me, with everything you see Am I wrong? Tell me, with everything you see Am I wrong? Misunderstood, just like me Forever's coming, this is agony How can we call ourselves humane with a straight face While we just throw them away?

Rejected for your world designed without me in mind The harder I try, the more I fall behind It's like being shattered inside all the things I'm afraid of I try to face but it's never enough Got down and trampled, left in the dust Shot out and to die with no one to trust But in my pain, in my darkest days I've run away to free myself A reason to live another day There it is, what I'm lookin' for I found inside myself, run for your life My path lies in me and in no one else I raise my fist because I insist And I insist because I resist I resist I resist I resist I resist I resist I resist
