Diamonds and Coal by Incubus

Of the songs from the Light Grenades, Diamonds and Coal is the most formulaic song. You would instantly recognize that it's Incubus. I love the depth of instruments used, especially the subtlety of the keys in the verses and the chorus. This is one of my early favoties in the album, as it is radio friendly and classic Incubus at it's finest

If it’s good to complicate then both of us are doing fine
Just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine
If it’s good to instigate we’re a fast horse, bet on us
I’m not calling you an animal, I think we just fight too much

Come on, in spite of this we’re doing just fine, Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine, Even diamonds start as coal

We’re both aligned in framed of mind but circumstance has got us good
And now you’re seeing a side of me I wished no one ever would
Yeah, if it’s right to pick a fight, we’re fingers in a sugar bowl
Love isn’t perfect, Even diamonds start out as coal

Hey now, in spite of this we’re doing just fine, Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine Even diamonds start as coal
We’re incomplete and infantine Even diamonds start as coal.

Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things they burn before they shine
We think way too much Look at us losing touch
A promise is a promise until...

Yeah, in spite of this we’re doing just fine Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine Even diamonds starts as coal.
We’re incomplete and infantile Even diamonds start as coal
