Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hanging on by a thread
I could never be dead
There's a mountain inside of my heart now
Yet the lava is calm
[Verse 2]
The temperature rises
The passion surprises
Reddish tinge glows in my eyes now
Yet the lava is calm
[Verse 3]
Half a verse for your losses
But they could never be dead
Silly ghosts play in my head now
They know the lava is calm
[Verse 4]
But the Summer is hot
My Earth is on fire
Bringin' me blankets and water
Making sure the lava is calm
[Instrumental]
Hangin' on by a thread
Bring me breakfast in bed
Cold pain lives in my chest now
So the lava is calm
[Verse 5]
I am a fire that once was respected
Like a fallen god, I stand corrected
I'm the stone that the builder rejected
So the lava is calm
[Verse 6]
The lava is calm
Like a lake or a stream
A dream's not always a thing that it means
When the lava is calm
