Human Diamonds

Do you ever just feel like it’s too much pressure Like you're a tea kettle screaming, but everybody keeps their don’t care ear plugs in and can't see vision lens on So no one can hear you suffocating or see you dry drowning. They are blindly waiting for the next bit of pressured tea Superman isn’t coming to save you. Trust I’ve been screaming, and he still hasn’t found me Something tells me he has no space for me under his cape of success Life has made a choice, and it’s challenged you greatly No one can stop it, just the end Even then that’s a maybe We actually don’t know if that’s just another beginning of a new rat race We have yet to see or begin to comprehend I am losing my voice from screaming helplessly Tones that have fallen upon deaf ears who also can’t see Would someone please give me a breath to breathe Living is like a cigarette just sucking the energy of life out of me. Depletion of patience, in exchange for cancerous thoughts Scared to inhale, afraid more damage it will cost Pressure. Pop You thought I did it just, pressed the red button You actually thought I'd hit it? Are you kidding? Have you not learned yet Under constraint, beauty is produced So the more it's compressed The brighter the rays will shine through Pressure is uncomfortable for a duration of time Withstanding the forces of life will produce Unbreakable human diamonds Stronger every time
