Lyrics

Precious Stones

I hope the sun shows the way Don't crush my spirit today Reveal your precious stones So I can help myself Don't waste your time Don't let it slip away from you Don't waste your time If it's the last thing that you do I dig through bone and skull Imagine black emerald I'm covered head to toe With diamonds in the rough Don't waste your time Don't let it slip away from you Don't waste your time If it's the last thing that you do These snakes have nothing to say I want their heads right away I sharpen every blade And I give them all to you Yeah, I give them all to you (You're in my head) (You're in my head again)
