I wish you would get me a diamond ring already, I know I am still young, But we’ve been together for so many years It’s been five already – that’s almost scary – Well it would be scary if I could feel You make sure I don’t though You scream a darkened silence at me And smother me with nothing. I’m not saying a pretty diamond Would salvage you, or make up for all But I’m not a fool – You and I Are carved forever. Not that I believe in forevers – You made sure of that one Right after you took all the FEELING. I’m drowning in the nothing where you suppress me I feel like Victorian bridal doll – Entrapped, encased, suffocating Watching in silence, in a dress that’s not mine No one can hear me shouting I can’t even see me anymore The walls cave in As I collapse on the floor. Being awake shouldn’t take any effort Or leave me with laboured breathing. Can you just get me that diamond already? At least then I’ll know we’re in something steady. Not that I’d ever want to commit to you But good days don’t come anymore And I’d like to drown in screaming.

Oppressive Diamonds
I wish you would get me a diamond ring already, I know I am still young, But we’ve been together for so many years It’s been five already – that’s almost scary – Well it would be scary if I could feel You make sure I don’t though You scream a darkened silence at me And smother me with nothing. I’m not saying a pretty diamond Would salvage you, or make up for all But I’m not a fool – You and I Are carved forever. Not that I believe in forevers – You made sure of that one Right after you took all the FEELING. I’m drowning in the nothing where you suppress me I feel like Victorian bridal doll – Entrapped, encased, suffocating Watching in silence, in a dress that’s not mine No one can hear me shouting I can’t even see me anymore The walls cave in As I collapse on the floor. Being awake shouldn’t take any effort Or leave me with laboured breathing. Can you just get me that diamond already? At least then I’ll know we’re in something steady. Not that I’d ever want to commit to you But good days don’t come anymore And I’d like to drown in screaming.
