Oliver Daldry Diamond Sky
Why does it always rain in autumn
When it's already far too late?
So high, my fear was once a tower
Now runs a river through my veins
But oh you told me once:
I must be bold in love
Or I must fake my way
And if I hold it up
And if I'm strong enough
Then I might change some day
It's an ordinary way to feel an ordinary pain, with an extraordinary sense of shame
It's hit and run
Why am I so overpowered
Oh by everything I've done?
You know I scare myself for hours?
Though I have never held a gun
But oh you wrap me up
Oh yeah, you wrap me up
So how can I deceive?
Yeah it's just so messed up
(because) You set that up - now how can I believe?
It's an ordinary way to feel an ordinary pain, with an extraordinary shame like mine
It's hit and run
We have fought for many hours
And I have worn my voice to stone
Destroyed each others power
But no victory ever shows
But it's a privilege to be here
And it's so great to have you home
We've been dancing to the voices
Of a thousand tiny ghosts
And they're screaming from the rooftops
Without the sight of hope
And nothing but a diamond sky can set them free
Astronomers from everywhere
Are listening to the sound
They're open to the questions
But they're poisoned by the doubt
Though I'm certain in the distance
There must be something more profound
So come on, please be quiet
While I try to work it out
I'm not known to be patient
Though I never mean to shout
It's just nothing but a Diamond Sky will bring me peace
Oh it's a privilege to be here
And it's so great to have you home
