"Volcano" lyrics

"Volcano"

Pulling the plug could be the ultimate anti-drug
But I'm addicted to this life
There goes my shirt
There goes my plan
There goes my name
'Cause I wrote it in the sand
I'm obsessed with this grain of salt
I'm fixated on a grain of sand
I'm yearning for a speck of sugar
I guess I'll take what I can
Find romance in the trash
Something that lasts
Lasts

I'm still in this town
This same old town
I'm still building mountains underground
I'm still grinding bones to bake my bread
Grinding on a skull to get ahead
Get ahead
Ride the crown
Full of love
Full of lava
Volcano

Ashes wet with hot tears
Running down the mountain
I shiver an avalanche
There goes my shirt
There goes my plan
Romance to challenge my ambition
Give me that good collision
To propel the peak
Don't speak
Like two tectonic plates make the earth quake
Let the bed rock
My volcano

I'm still in this town
This same old town
I'm still building mountains underground
I'm still grinding bones to bake my bread
Grinding on a skull to get ahead
Get ahead
Ride the crown
Full of love
Full of lava
Volcano
