As we all know Chino is a real word smith and comes up with some very interesting lyrics. The premise of this topic is pretty simple, list your two favourite lyrics from each album. By lyric I mean no longer than a sentence or two if needs be, i.e. don't just quote a whole song because that would kind of defeat the object! I'd be interested know which lyrics really speak to you.
Anyway, to get things started here's a lyric from each album that really stood out to me:
Diamond Eyes:
My gift to the world outside, it's ok, i'm all right - Prince
You arrive in my dream beside me every night just you and me - This Place is Death

I really wish these snakes were your arms - KimDracula
I've cut your armies down and torn your heart - Rivière

Diamond Eyes
no one else has a hold over me like you do
you open up the covers, you lure me in, tackle me anxious back into bed
i feel like cruising with you today
come wake me up soon
Saturday Night Wrist
it's too late for me now
you should know i could never make it work
Deftones

i want to sleep if you are awake
spread your wings and sail out to me
for the first time i wish she'd call
White Pony

soon this will be all over
tonight i feel like more
new cavity moved into my heart today
Around the Fur
you're so sweet, your smile, your pussy, and your bones

it feels good to know you are mine
it's funny how you think i'm so serious
walk into this world with your head up high
Adrenaline
Done feeding, I leaned back head rested on the couch's top
Must leave the house soon mean gone cause my pops he's hot
Grab my blue backpack, My walkman, grip my bicycle
Because I know my friends are waiting at the door
We are here - Mother - in your fear with you
We could be perfect in your world I know
i want to be just like you then i'd be cool, maybe not...
hello memory lover, you are mine.i gave you everything.i need you. and someday i'll be with you.
i love deftones, they've been my favorite band since i was sixteen, i'm 27 now, i've grown up with all these albums, i hold all these lyrics, and all their music very dear to my heart. diamond eyes is a beautiful album and the whole disc is inspiring. i'd quote that whole record if i could.

I climbed your arms and you pulled away. New cavity moved into my heart today

I took you home, set you on a glass, I pulled out your wings, then I laughed
Around the Fur
I think god is moving it's tongue

Adrenaline
grab my blue backpack, my walkman, grip my bicycle
