… Demons to Diamonds … (lyrics)

A good friend of mine has been listening to some rough cuts off of “Bits”. He likes the song “Demons to Diamonds” in particular and he keeps asking me about the lyrics.

My whole process for “Bits” is so inverted that I’ll probably publish all the words before I finish recording them … then change everything and have to come back and re-edit them…

So here they are:

Demons to Diamonds

you’ve had your success
the laughter begins
and everyone’s thrilled
but let’s just say
they’re not all gone
they’ve all changed form
to something so undefinable

they’ve taken you in
you’ve offered consent
a trap that’s so isometric
there
a fractured edge
we might see in
discovering what control remains

an image reflected
the material objective
you’re safe if you don’t look hard
in the mirror there’s a little flaw
a demon with a big heart

cut shape this form again
and deliver it
do it if you want too
cut shape this form again
be a prisoner of beauty if you want to

and I wonder
what this will become

It may be the mathematical expression that he was curious about (I have it inverted in the version I gave him).
