Diamonds and Piss

If they toss coal and glass.
Just chew it up and spit it out.
Every now and again you'll even find a diamond. 
Laying infinite shine to your soul smile.

So, when they sling those hateful things.
At the stained-glass window of your being.
You can clean your caliber and hone your cutlery.
or spit back a fountain of jagged love.
If you don't do something, they'll bury you alive. 
Then piss all over your busted skull.
