Lyrics: Amber Sierra Cuadra

[Hook]
Synthetic Gems
Worn arms digging for jewels
You’ll work hard
And strive for something better
But
Synthetic gems
Synthetic gems
The only kind they left
You bet synthetic’s
The best you’re gonna get
[Verse 1]
The dream we’re sold’s a lie
If diamonds are forever
The rest of us will die
Trying just to hold one
But will it make you whole?
You’ll never ever
You’ll never know
[Hook]
Worn arms digging for jewels
And strive for something better
But
Synthetic gems
Synthetic gems
The only kind they left
You bet synthetic’s
The best you’re gonna get
[Verse 2]
Glass
To separate
Us from them
The transparency's a trap
So we can fantasize
That there might be a chance
But you’ll never ever
You’ll never know
[Hook]
Worn arms digging for jewels
You’ll work hard
And strive for something better
But
Synthetic gems
Synthetic gems
The only kind they left
You bet synthetic’s
The best you’re gonna get
