Diamonds - Rihanna

Murder lives forever and so does war It's survival of the fittest, rich against the poor At the end of the day it's a human trait Hidden deep down inside of our DNA One man can build a bomb, another run a race To save somebody's life and have it blow up in his face I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man Is it running in our blood? Is it running in our veins? Is it running in our genes? Is it in our DNA? Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl We live, we die, we steal, we kill, we lie Just like animals but with far less grace We laugh, we cry like babies in the night Forever running wild in the human race Another day, another tale of rape Another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man You can see it on the news, you can watch it on TV You can read it on your phone, you can say it's troubling Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We're just animals still learning to behave All the hate coming out from a generation Who got everything and nothing guided by temptation Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run Or has something deep inside of us come undone? Is it a human trait or is it learned behaviour Are you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour? Underneath it all, we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We're just animals still learning to behave

So much comin' in I do not know where to begin I just follow the lead you're pulling And I get lost in your trail So much more to tell You just ask me if I'm doing well But I do not know what the hell I just swallow hard In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling Terrified of what your love's revealing So much you can see Should I let you make a woman of me? Should I let you take the mystery from me? See the inside of my room at night? Sometimes you will find Things I do not know how to leave behind I've been grappling with my mind I've been stuck inside a jail In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling Terrified of what your love's revealing The cold of winter warms my blood, and he's hot like a bed of steel He finds his peace of mind in the rivers and the whip-poor-wills I could follow close behind and slowly disappear But I can never leave him, I can never leave him I can never leave him, I can never leave him I can never leave him, I can never leave him In his eyes, black diamonds I could die And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling So much more to do Come on, let me make a man outta you I could gather you, and you tell the truth You could cry inside my arms You could cry inside my arms like a child You could cry You could cry

Well, I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I've known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy, you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest? Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well, you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes, the girl on the half-shell Would keep you unharmed Now I see you standing with brown leaves Falling all around and snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid
