cursed diamond

Cursed Diamond has recently made it into my list of the top five tbc songs. Off Amorica, I actually heard it first on Lost Crowes and immediately fell in love. I think of Cursed Diamond as the "Chris song" for me...maybe because, I now admit, I have such a crush on him or maybe just because I can't imagine this song not being personal. I honestly don't have a lot to say about this song because that would just mar the perfect lyrics...I won't even pick out a few lyrics to highlight because the entire song is so perfect and the lyrics are so true

I lose myself
I forget myself
Sometimes I fault myself
I might fight myself
But then I make amends

I freeze myself
Rain on myself
Ok, so I stone myself
And I might even find myself
But then again what happens if I do

So unzip my pride
Open me up wide
So I can show this to you

I want to shine for you
I want to sparkle too
Just like a diamond cursed
Well you know it don't get worse
You know that I'll save you time
Your trouble now is mine

Hold me baby
Hold me girl
And I will laugh with you
If you want me to
Roll me in your splendor
I'll envy your surrender
And show you victory

I hate myself
Doesn't everybody hate themselves
So what, I scare myself
Then I tell myself that it's all in my mind
So I let the poison go
'Cause baby I always know
It will be there for me
