Lyrics

Diamond Eyes (Boom-lay Boom-lay Boom)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes

I am the ghost, that hides in the night

Boom-lay boom-lay, boom!

Wait, wait a minute take a step back

You gotta think twice before you react

So stay, stay a little while cause a promise

Not kept is the road to exile

Hey, what's the circumstance

You'll never be great without taking a chance

So, wait you waited too long

Had your hands in your pocket

When you should've been gone

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

One push is all you need

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

A fist-first philosophy

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

We watch with wounded eyes

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

So I hope you recognize

I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness, so long to the regrets

And now I see the world through diamond eyes

Damn, damn it all down

Took one to the chest without even a sound

So, what, what do you want

The things you love or the people you hurt

Hey, it's like deja vu suicidal maybe I got nothing to lose

So wait, it's the exception to the rule

Everyone of us is expendable

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

One push is all you need

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

A fist-first philosophy

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

We watch with wounded eyes

(Boom-lay, boom lay, boom)

So I hope you recognize

I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness

So long to the regrets

And now I know that I'm alive

I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness so long to the regrets

And now I see the world through

Diamond Eyes

Every night of my life I watch angels fall from the sky

Every time that the Sun still sets

I pray they don't take mine

I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness so long to regrets

I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness so long to the regrets

And now I know that I'm alive

I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning

I say goodbye to my weakness, so long to the regrets

And now I see the world through diamond eyes

I'm on the front line, don't worry I'll be fine

The story is just beginning

(The story is just beginning)

I say goodbye to my weakness

So long to the regrets

And now I see the world through

Diamond eyes

Boom-lay, boom lay, boom
