about

Tanzanite is an extremely valuable yet fragile gem stone. It is reminiscent of that relationship you had for years that broke so easily. The partner didn't realize you had something special. Sometimes it's difficult to see that when hidden gems don't shine.

lyrics

There's blood in my mouth
And my teeth are kicked in
Now I'm all strung out
I am losing my grip
I've walked on thin ice
But I'm better off swimming
Yeah I always thought twice
But my thoughts got expensive

Feels like it's been forever
Since stars in your eyes
We did it for each other
But I sacrificed
The world blew out your glimmer
Hidden gems don't shine
Diamonds build under pressure
We were tanzanite

Where are your manners
And where's your loyalty
Your words are daggers
But apathy cut me
Never wanted to fight
But I should have said something
Maybe you wouldn't lie
That this is what you wanted

Feels like it's been forever
Since stars in your eyes
We did it for each other
But I sacrificed
The world blew out your glimmer
Hidden gems don't shine
Diamonds build under pressure
We were tanzanite
We were tanzanite
We were tanzanite

Feels like it's been forever
Since stars in your eyes
We did it for each other
But I sacrificed
The world blew out your glimmer
Hidden gems don't shine
Diamonds build under pressure
We were tanzanite
Whoa oh oh
We were tanzanite
Whoa oh oh
We were tanzanite
