A gemstone or gem (also called a precious or semi-precious stone, a fine gem, or jewel) is a piece of mineral, which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However certain rocks (such as lapis lazuli) and organic materials (such as amber or jet) are not minerals, but are still used for jewelry, and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their luster or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone. Apart from jewelry, from earliest antiquity until the 19th century engraved gems and hardstone carvings such as cups were major luxury art forms; the carvings of Carl Fabergé were the last significant works in this tradition.

Focus (focus)
Commitment and trust give in to me
Friendship (friendship)
Forced through broken bones and tragedy
Can't fucking believe
This joke has gotten out of hand
Won't Pretend (won't pretend)
That I don't feel the break, but I feel the bend
"Late night, snow fall
Get us to the hospital
Jamestown, 94 West,
And a Forty Hour train back to penn"
Leaves fall (Leaves fall)
If it means anything, it just means we're dead
Snow falls (snow falls)
It means my feet just flew over my head
Can't fucking believe
This joke has gotten out of hand
Won't Pretend (won't pretend)
That I don't feel the break, but I feel the bend
"Late night, snow fall
Get us to the hospital
Jamestown, 94 West,
And a Forty Hour train back to Penn"
There's no setback
That can set me back
I think the punch is warm and thin
And I'm weakening
The one thing that keeps me in the ring
Are the people that would never exist to me (to me)
If my mind's a weapon, my heart's the extra clip
"Late night, snow fall
Get us to the hospital
Jamestown, 94 West,
And a Forty Hour train back to Penn"
We're all broken
Focus (focus)

The one thing that keeps me living
Are the people that would never exist to me (to me)
If my mind's a weapon, my heart's the extra clip

And a Forty Hour train back to Penn"
We're all broken
Endure, I'm still fucking here
