Diamond Eyes (Boom‐Lay Boom‐Lay Boom) Songtext
von Shinedown

I am the shadow and the smoke in your eyes
I am the ghost that hides in the night

Put ′em up!

Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom

Wait, wait a minute, take a step back
You gotta think twice before you react
So stay, stay a little while
'Cause a promise not kept is the road to exile
Hey, what′s the circumstance?
You'll never be great without taking a chance, so
Wait, you waited too long
Had your hands in your pocket when you should've been gone


Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
One push is all you′ll need
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
A fist-first philosophy
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
We watch with wounded eyes
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
So I hope you recognize

I′m on the front line
Don't worry, I′ll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
So long to the regret
And now I see the world through diamond eyes

Damn (damn), damn it all down
Took one to the chest without even a sound, so
What? What are you worth?
The things you love or the people you hurt
Hey (hey), déjà vu
A suicidal maniac with nothing to lose, so
Wait, it's the exception to the rule
Every one of us is expendable


Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
One push is all you′ll need
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
A fist-first philosophy
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
We watch with wounded eyes
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
So I hope you recognize

I'm on the front line
Don′t worry, I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
So long to the regret
And now I know that I'm alive

I′m on the front line
Don′t worry, I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
So long to the regret
And now I see the world through diamond eyes

Every night of my life
I watch angels fall from the sky
Every time that the sun still sets
I pray they don′t take mine

I'm on the front line
Don′t worry, I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
So long to regrets

I′m on the front line
Don't worry, I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
So long to the regret
And now I know that I′m alive

I′m on the front line
Don't worry, I′ll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
So long to the regret
And now I see the world through diamond eyes

I'm on the front line
Don′t worry, I'll be fine
The story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
So long to the regret
And now I see the world through diamond eyes

Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
