from the LP "This Is My Hand" 
Available on CD /Vinyl / Digital 
September 16, 2014
from Asthmatic Kitty Records.

Lyrics:
mountain on top a fire below 
the pressure grows pressure
I feel the weight of a billion years 
come down on me come down
I tried to do it all right I went down down down
workin' hard little delight I forgot the sound of
diamonds

so bright I cannot hide 'em
so heavy I cannot mine 'em
all of this pressure's makin' diamonds
so wild I cannot tame 'em
so shiny I cannot name 'em
all of this pressure's makin' diamonds
disperse the white light

dancing on top the glitter glow
the pressure slows pressure
I feel the blade the cutting edge move out out out
I tried to do it all right I went down down down
workin' hard little delight I forgot the sound of
diamonds

pink purple green red yellow blue
I am in that mood indigo
pink purple green red yellow blue
I am in that mood for diamonds

My Brightest Diamond, "Pressure"

Light Sleeper

Everyone Who's Not In Love With You Is Wrong

ocean of storms

I blame no one for my incompetence 
How do I differentiate my sadness from the tranquil 
Don’t mind my loathing at all 

As I’m to blame 
I shall carve my sins on my flesh
Through my veins 
Can’t catch a break these days 

Till dawn arrives with hope I suppose 
Nothing will soothe the ache

Ache
