tehn diamond – relapse lyrics
[verse 1: shingi mangoma]
all things are vanity
beauty can come from ashes, redemption from pain
it all comes tumbling down, it all comes tumbling down
all that you see, all that you know could come tumbling down
it all comes tumbling down
but only love remains
it all comes tumbling down, down, down, down, down
it all comes tumbling down, down, down, down
but only love remains
[interlude: amai tendai]
i remember you, by grade 3, you already had a cv as long as a, an arm really
you were into everything, sport, acting, you were the best at everything that you did
it wasn’t good enough just to do, to show up
you needed to show up and be the best at whatever you it is that you did
you got into that pool, you had asthma, you swum, your form in the pool
every weekend i didn’t have a voice
the only thing i never wanted you to do was to play rugby because i was sure, you know, it was one way you’d get be getting injured willy nilly
you never allowed me to come and watch you because i’d then start saying “iwe!, uri kumupushirei!?
so you didn’t ask me leave but at swimming, you showed them, boy you showed them
and that boy, my son
[verse 2: tehn diamond]
she is always telling them impossible is nothing
cruising from the depths of despair into the air and then places them on a mountain
far from the waves of emotion they try to drown them though
it’s hard not wake up the ocean when she’s around them
fires ignite, planets and stars align
their love is like a flower and bloom beautifully doomed
day to day, step by step inching a room
with no doors and no four walls
? is so lost and at all cost mirrors the mood
if heaven is the sun and the sky, she is the moon
when friends saw parts of him die she was the tomb
like the fire, then the phoenix to fly: these are the rules
this twitter generation will give you every review
but never take a second to ever walk in your shoes
holding on to something so heavy for so long
knowing it’s right but so many hoping it goes wrong
but, that man’s hustling to make ends meet
while she is struggling to make them see
that that man is a seed, a true african tree
a baobab that’s been buried in the dirt just begging to be
it’s like the 21st century romeo and juliet
same roles, loneliest souls without the plot twist
young, black, beautiful love, all the above
more than enough, more than was ever given to us
to us
