Diamond In the Rough

The Diamond in the rough has been lost in the masses of panicked flesh He looks through the eyes of the unnoticed, He thinks with the questioning of his being, He only looks to escape the day The Diamond in the rough only leaves in the night bereft of joy he entraps his plight He makes music alone waiting for pain to escape he looks in the mirror and cries at his face the Diamond in the rough he's escaped far away He's tired of the masses he sticks to like clay He walks the silk plains and travels alone,he's severed all contact with his past and his home His potential may be realized and maybe it won't He writes in his soul what his eyes have absorbed They hear it and like it but they always want more His soul's been exchanged by demons in suits For MTV slots, platinum plaques,drugs,sex, and a bust in a room The Diamond in the rough,no longer there lies but he's had enough he's decided to fly The fame and the fortune has darkened his day It's tragic, but masses proclaim him cliche' He knew they would view him as weak,and then scared Nothing else mattered he was always prepared He couldn't fear fear any longer inside Alone in a tower a diamond he died
