    Diamonds In The Rafters is the second album from Chasing Deer.

    The album is a journey of self-reflection, written during the first two weeks of January 2022, on a songwriting retreat in Margate, in collaboration with Ollie Hayes.

    This album marks Rob's first time exploring deeply personal lyrics. The lyrics cover a wide area of human emotion, ranging from grief and loss to euphoria and living in the moment, from self-doubt to confidence and triumph.

lyrics

Are we off the record?
I don't wanna waste no more of your time, you know
The devil's in the detail
Nothing more to give, I'll speak my mind
Come on

I've sunk a couple of whiskies
I'm in the mood to talk tonight to you

Heaven help me, heaven help me
Heaven help me, heaven help me

When the world's in slow motion, find a melody to die
Spinning out on the M40 in the middle of the night
Saw the judgment of the angels in those southbound headlights
Travelling alone

Heaven help me, heaven help me
Heaven help me, heaven help me

Take a shot
Diamonds in the rafters
Second guess, every ever after
Rip the mask, pitch your next disaster
Don't be late
Dressed up for the rapture
Dressed up for the rapture

Are we years in the making or just a sparkle in the eye?
An amalgamation of emojis conveniently sold and weaponised
They're building a sun out in China
Why don't we step into the light?
Step into the light

Re-evaluate the time, you find it hard to ascertain
All this faking is deflating, what's in the changing of a name?
When life gives you lentils, just order lemonade
Lemonade Lemonade Lemonade

Take a shot
Diamonds in the rafters
Second guess, every ever after
Rip the mask, pitch your next disaster
Don't be late
Dressed up for the rapture
Dressed up for the rapture

Take a shot
Diamonds in the rafters
Second guess, every ever after
Rip the mask, pitch your next disaster
Don't be late
Dressed up for the rapture

Who's life are you living anyway?
What d'ya say?

Take a shot
Diamonds in the rafters
Second guess, every ever after
Rip the mask, pitch your next disaster
Don't be late
Dressed up for the rapture
Dressed up for the rapture

Heaven help me
Dressed up for the rapture
Heaven help me
Dressed up for the rapture
Heaven help me
Dressed up for the rapture
Heaven help me
Dressed up for the rapture
