DIAMOND PLATE LYRICS

1. Walking Backwards

Living in the past, having been left behind
Trapped knee deep in the sands of time
Sinking deeper with each passing moment
Helpless as your breath is stolen
Caught up in a dream
Nothing’s as it seems

Where are you now

Let pass you by , keep blind your eye, the world around you
Keep on walking backwards all your life

Dismiss every piece of advice, never think twice
Owner of truth
So quick to put up a fight,
If you’re always right then there’s nothing to lose
Problems mounting , disengage
Look for someone else to blame
The present never lasts when the future is your past

Where are you now

Let pass you by, keep blind your eye, the world around you
Keep on walking backwards all your life
Caught up in a dream, nothing’s as it seems

2. All Of It

How can it be you feel the need to test my patience
Accusing me, haunting me, am I so selfish?
A day of rest too much to ask for
speak my mind and I'm put on blast
Answering the same old questions
How can you say you understand?

Swallow the anger, force the smile
Tell myself that I'll be over in a while
I know nothing's wrong
A worthless chess game, I am the pawn
Promise makes way to regret
I hate that I cannot forget

The pain, it just ain't a word
The hate, the lies, in vain, all of it

Back and forth you speak in circles
Cornering me with your words
It used to be so plain and simple
But it's easy to say you understand
Denial makes way to neglect
I hate that I cannot forget

The pain, it just ain't worth
The hate, the lies, in vain, all of it
Every last all of it

All of it amounted to nothing
Somehow it's crushing me beneath its weight
Playing the game the house of cards you built
Is burning me down, burning me down
All of it, every breath I ever wasted on it
Carried away
Never mattered anything I ever had to say... burn
Every last all of it

3. Dance With Reality

One step forward, two steps back…
To square one, easier said than done
Don’t do what you know, but know what you do
It is what it is, you never had a clue
Know the ropes around your neck, how can you not trust yourself?

Dance with reality
This is my
Dance with reality

Give it to me straight, cut to the chase
Filling up with empty space
And the truth is the hardest pill to swallow
How could you trust yourself?

This is my
Dance with reality
This is my
Dance with reality

Trust me

Dance with reality
Will be the end of me

4. Still Dreaming

How did I know, so long ago
That I’d wake up missing all I know
How did I know, so long ago
I’d still be dreaming, and so it goes

Fading in, without a doubt
Bleeding from the inside out
I’m not moving on, time to run away
Save myself another day

It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head
Feels like I’m falling faster
It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head
This dream becomes the master
It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head
I’ll lie awake, I’ll run away
It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head

Dig another hole, make it hollow
Show me what it takes to follow
Open up the door, there’s nowhere else to hide
Guide me to the other side

It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head
Feels like I’m falling faster
It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head
This dream becomes the master
Lie awake, run away
It’s all in your head, it’s all in your head

How did I know, so long ago
That I’d wake up missing all I know
I’ve seen it all, day after day
Nothing changes, I’ll still be dreaming

And now I know, day after day
Nothing changes, I’ll still be dreaming

It’s all in your head, the dream is dead

5. Face To Face

Hold your breath don't make a sound
Abusing death to keep your feet off the ground

Turn on. Turn in. Drop out. Shoot in
Figure it out. Find a way out
Turn on. Tune in. You're out. You're in
Figure it out. Figure it out

Face to face with a state deranged
Reality just stays the same
Face to face. Now it stops
Then it starts again

Close your eyes
The snake that leads you blind
Is just a villain in disguise
That kills your mind ti stay alive

Turn on. Tune in. Drop out. Shoot in
Figure it out. Get rid of the doubt
Turn on. Tune in. Drop out. You're in
You figured it out. There's no way out

Face to face with a state deranged
Reality just stays the same
Face to face. Now it stops
It never stops

Descend into a state deranged
Reality just stays the same
Face to face. Now it stops
Make it stop

6. Bottom Of The Glass

Dive in. If that's all it takes
To forget all of my mistakes
It's all I want, and all I see
I'd give anything to be a part of this machine

What you see will never make you what you want to be

I hold this glass in my hand
In hopes to find and understand
You're at the bottom of the glass

Another drink, and I feel the sting
This life I've found isn't anything
In control, but You're still a slave
From the cradle to the grave. I found the ocean you can have
The wave

What you see will never make you what you want to be

I hold this glass in my hand
In hopes to find and understand
You're at the bottom of the glass

7. Rainmaker

Life it seems goes on for miles. Just to pass you by
Disappears before it starts. Find the reason why
Carrying on,carrying on. You're not the only one
It's all in the way. It's all in the way you see the sun

Let it be, let it be, let the vultures feed
Take it away, take it away, end the suffering
Let it be, let it be, let the vultures feed
Take it away, take it away, end the suffering

Day turns to night in the sunset of his mind
Searching for an answer that he will never find
Carrying on, carrying on
The more you chase the more it runs
It's all in the way. It's all in the way. You'll never see the sun

Let it be. Let it be. Let the vultures feed
Take it away. Take it away. End the suffering

8. Persistence Of Memory

[Instrumental]

9. Running Dry

Wake up to get in line. That's how it's designed
Another day it's all the same. They never change the game
Just killing time. There's plenty more to borrow
No hope. No cure for the disease they call tomorrow

Your life slips through your fingers
Insanity brings you to your knees again

Running dry. They've got you on your knees again
Running dry. Give and take it never ends

Searching for the beast that drives.
Struggle to win? Just survive
Live and die behind the wheel.
Remember what? What makes it real
Caught up. Caught up in a dream. Everything is as it seems
There's nothing left to say. The pulse that gives and takes away

Running dry. They've got you on your knees again
Running dry. Give and take it never ends
