I wrote a song

I haven't posted in a while. So here, I wrote this today. I haven't even touched a guitar yet to put music to it. Enjoy!

"The Diamonds and the Coals"

At the bottom of the quarry
There's a rusty chain in coils,
An access to perdition,
To the victor go the spoils.
Careful where it leads you,
The gravels falling at your feet.
Clouds blocking the moonlight,
There's more of this that you can't see.

It's the shattered glass that gives the best reflection.
It's the hottest iron that leaves the longest impression.
If the heart is the mind, if the mind is the soul,
Then you'll find yourself
Amongst the diamonds and the coals.

You walk with your eyes closed
And think before you speak.
The armor that surrounds you
Is as thin as cotton sheets.
Stacked up in the distance
Are the buildings of your past.
And even though their still standing
You fail to see how this could last.

It's the shattered glass that gives the best reflection.
It's the hottest iron that leaves the longest impression.
If the heart is the mind, if the mind is the soul,
Then you'll find yourself
Amongst the diamonds and the coals.

They're closing in.
When does the daylight come?
When does the night time end?
And you're blurring the lines
Between who you are,
And who you want to find.

It's the shattered glass that gives the best reflection.
It's the hottest iron that leaves the longest impression.
If the heart is the mind, if the mind is the soul,
Then you'll find yourself
Amongst the diamonds and the coals.
