Shinedown - Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom) lyrics

Your rating:

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

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
Because 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 it all down
Took one to the chest without even a sound so
So what? What are you worth?
The things you love or the people you hurt
Hey! It's like deja vu
A suicidal maniac with nothing to lose
So wait, it's the exception to the rule
Everyone 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 regret

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 regrets
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
