 Open the door and I step into the world
 These strings keep pulling my heart
 Attached to those blue eyes and pearls
 
 There must be somewhere I can still lay my head
 Where you're still something I long to sleep next to in the bed
 
 You said you'd say
 You said you'd say
 You said you'd be my hanging scales
 Erase all these changes
 You turned away
 You turned away so I replaced all our shiny gold with diamonds in the city
 
 Untie my shoes and I walk on to the road
 So far beyond all the pavement
 Surpassing containment
 
 I realize now
 These nights
 They don't bring the joy
 It's something deeper inside the screaming heart of a boy
 
 So I kneeled and prayed
 I kneeled and prayed
 Repeating sins
 My face endured
 How can I keep the faith when I've seen the rage
 I've seen the rage
 Viewed all the hate reciprocate the pureness of this place
 
 And they think I've become numb to the situations
 But I know when my verse is sung and in the end I'll be the only one
 
 You said you'd say
 You said you'd say
 You said you'd be my hanging scales
 Erase all these changes
 You turned away
 You turned away so I replaced all our shiny gold with diamonds in the city
 Oh
 
 Diamonds in the city
 
 (Oh)
 (Oh)
 Diamonds in the City
 
 (Hey)
 (Woah)
 (Oh)
 Diamonds in the city
