lyrics

This natural beauty as it seemed
Covered her face up with superficial dreams
Seeking attention, and loyalty
She had a void and nothing could fill it but time

The men and the women wanted her love
But the images slipped over minds above
And the make-up ran down the gutter of noise
Like a fake sense of guilt grew, into a dripping potent bud

Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you think
Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you sink, before you sink

A free exploring mind is not what she’s after
She loves new souls to manipulate with laughter
Crawling back to me after my fall
To wrap her thick web around my clear conscious soul

Dangerously weak, modestly elicit
Prudently lustful, provocatively tasteful
She stands like an advocate, so innocent and dark
Running her nails through your instincts, she makes you bark

Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you think
Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you sink, before you sink

Sink into the void, that is her love, She loves you
But you walk away, it’s too much for you to handle, now
There were too many red flags, even your friends knew that this, would happen
Now that too much is harvested, the bones are now broken, the skin is torn

Now that it’s a new day

healthy fears
by the dreaded diamond

For a two-piece of Piano/Vocals and Drums, The Dreaded Diamond pull off having a big sound that most four-piece bands can't get close to-The complex drumming and soulful vocals make for a good listen. Clark Reese
