"Diamond Lost" lyrics

There's a diamond lost inside the earth
Deep underground within the dirt
I dig and dig 'til my hands burn
But I'll never find her

If the season keeps like this
Bone-dry permanence
I'll send postcards I don't even mean
From here, the dim, the black unseen

So where do I go
If this is what's to be?
How will it end
Without destiny?

There's a diamond lost inside the earth
Deep underground within the dirt
I dig and dig 'til my hands burn
But I'll never find her

For some time now
Love wanders out further and further
Deadbolt, lockdown
And they swear that the key was lost somehow

Where do I go
If this is what's to be?
How will it end
Without destiny?
I'm complicit
Unable to retreat
So how will it end?
What about me?

There's a diamond lost inside the earth
I dig and dig 'til my hands burn
There's a diamond lost inside the earth
I dig and dig 'til my hands burn
But I'll never find her
