The Miners Jewels by The Boy Bathing Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2008

Something's gonna happen but I don't know when
Got a notebook full of pages and a Uni-ball pen
Gonna write down my mistakes before they happen again
And if everyone is bullshit why can't we pretend
Every day there's new beginnings but there's no new ends

Said "There's a game that I invented it's called 'Disappear'"
Play it sober but when you're fucked up it's easier
You find yourself a lover and you count to tеn
Close your eyes and if thеy're gone before you open them
Then there can't be no hard feelings, yeah, you'll still be friends
Woah-oh

And there's a history that I don't wanna talk about
Yeah I've done some dirty things don't wanna say out loud
And everyone has secrets they can live without
So pay attention, boy, and soon you'll have be figured out
Ah ah

There was a big mistake inside the factory that built us all
With the heart so big and the body so small
If I start to freak you out you know its not my fault
You can blame it on the way the human race evolved
'Cause the wanton heart is stronger than the self control
Woah-oh
So I spoke to an old lover in a dream last night
Still see a picture in my wallet if I hold it right
I made some bad decisions and want you to know
I walked a valley in a desert where no seed would grow
Felt the thundercloud in August drop an inch of snow
Woah-oh

And I met another woman with a mouth like you
But her hair was golden-blonde and her eyes were blue
She would pierce them into me the way that you used to
But I was immune, yeah they passed right through

And I know that I'm a handful, I complain a lot
In the winter when its cold, and the summer hot
Because half of me is happy, baby, half of me is not
And I'm staring up to heaven with my fingers crossed

Some people call it faith I like to call it love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love

You tell me that I'm lucky 'cause I know what I want
Count how many kids our age who are completely lost
But I'd rather just be happy for the things I've got
Invest my time in other people grow my people stock
And I'll be serious if serious if serious is what you want
I saw a thousand men with shovels in the subway line
Said there's no diamonds in those tunnels
What'd you hope to find
Then I saw the miner's jewel reflect from deep inside
I felt the miner's jewel reflect into my eye
I saw the miner's jewel reflect from deep inside
I felt the miner's jewel reflect into my eye
Knew that I'd be looking for that stone until the day I die
I was looking for the stone, 'til the day I die
I'll be looking for that stone until the day I die, the day I die
The day I die
'Til the day I die
