Diamond On Your Hand

You've been following your compass, putting in your two cents
 Still feel like you're walking in a shoebox, mapping out a dead end
 In the uncharted countries out on ecstasy's borders
 You have seen the reflections
 There's laughter in your cities, lightbulbs in your attics
 Stand against the darkness of the outback, the darkness of the road
 In the depths of your dreaming, in the cracks in the ceiling
 You have seen the revealing
 What if the diamond on your hand
 Was just a common ten cent ring?
 What if your ice castles melt down to water?
 What if your great walls remained
 As little more than cellophane
 At the end of the day?
 When you move out of the desert everything changes
 Back then you had no regard for all that you came with
 Now the sun is setting on the unmoved faces
 Of your own congregation
 What if the diamond on your hand
 Was just a common ten cent ring?
 What if your ice castles melt down to water?
 What if your great walls remained
 As little more than cellophane
 At the end of the day?
 Still no rockabye
 Sing out your lullabye
 Cause you will never know why
 Your truth is your brother's lie
 What if the diamond on your hand
 Was just a common ten cent ring?
 What if your ice castles melt down to water?
 What if all your matches burn down to your fingertips
 Without ever lighting a fire?
 What if your great walls remained
 As little more than cellophane
 At the end of the
 End of the
 End of the day?
