Diamond tears

Sapphire eyes.
Diamond tears.
Gold hair.
Porcelain skin.

Out of place.
Sapphires making more diamonds.
Wishing I could sell my gold.
Hating my sapphires and diamonds

My sapphire eyes.
Producing diamonds.
My porcelain skin producing rubies.
If only I could sell my rubies and diamonds.

I look like a man of money.
My sapphires and diamonds, my gold and rubies.
But I'm just the kid on the street.
Coming from a long line of kings.

I have royalty in my blood.
But I will never know.
Royalty that produces golden hair.
And sapphire eyes that produce diamond tears.

If only these diamonds could be sold.
Trade this hair for profit.
Give my rubies to get a home.
Oh I would give away my royal blood of old if it would lead to saving me today.

My sapphire eyes make more diamonds.
My porcelain skin makes more rubies.
If only I could sell the gems I make.
Then I might have a home.

But my diamond tears are given away.
My gold hair torn out and fading.
My rubies dripping out for free.
And my porcelain skin getting covered in horrible grime and bruises.

But still my rubies are of royalty.
My 2 brilliant sapphires, precious jewels.
My grimy porcelain skin still of royal descent.
My weakened bruised body a priceless treasure.

Living on the streets.
Royal blood in my veins.
Never knowing that I was heir to a throne.
My royal descent unknown to all but me.
I will reclaim the throne I have been left.
My sapphire eyes shining brightly.
My rubies being kept in my porcelain container.
My royalty will be known.

One day my diamond tears will be of joy.
My sapphire eyes will be visible to all.
One day my rubies will remain hidden.
And my body will stay a precious treasure.

But until I'm found I'm here.
Royalty living on the streets.
Waiting for my throne.
Knowing one day my royalty will be known.

Oh how the diamonds fall from sapphire eyes.
Happy tears that I will be found.
That I will have my diamonds of joy.
That my royal blood of rubies and hair of gold, eyes of sapphire and diamond tears, will be seen.

My shining diamonds of joy.
A priceless treasure.
My brilliant shining sapphires creating diamonds.
Sweet shining precious diamonds of joy.
