volcano
Jimmy & The Parrots Lyrics

You start to think of all the reasons you should go
You're considering leaving, but you're overthinking it.

Bit too forthright with things no one needs to know
You tend to overshare and say things that aren't necessary for others to know.

My foot is right there why not shoot it while I can
You're aware that you're making mistakes, but you continue to do so anyway.

It's my approach to all this no one understands
Others don't comprehend your way of dealing with things.

Here I am, Here I am La da da da da da da Here I am, Here I am La da da da da da da
Reiterating your presence and existence in the moment.

Hiking on lava buying fourth degree of burns
You're engaging in risky behavior that could result in serious consequences.

I chose to come here 'cause I thought it was my turn
You made a decision based on the idea that it was your time to do so.

It's right of passage and there's scripture on these walls
You see this experience as a rite of passage and notice religious symbols around you.

Even this volcano knows that this is all my fault
You take responsibility for the situation you're in and feel guilty about it.

I'll never learn, I'll never see How does one end up crashing
You feel as though you'll never understand why you keep making the same mistakes.

I'll never learn, I'll always care How does this shit keep happening
You're frustrated that you can't seem to break the cycle of repeating negative patterns.

I am alone on winter evenings with these thoughts
You often feel isolated with your thoughts and emotions.

The curse of being is that sometimes you get lost
You see the human condition as being inherently confusing and difficult to navigate.

I am the sole holder if no one wants to feel
You carry the emotional weight that others don't want to deal with.

And I'm fine with that 'cause none of this is real
You're okay with taking on others' emotions because you don't believe that any of this truly matters.

There's no freedom in this dwelling you call home
You feel stuck and confined in your current living situation.

It's a trap designed to keep you all alone
You see your current living situation as a way of isolating yourself from others.

When you wake up on a life raft in the sea You might wonder who the hell did this to me
If you find yourself in a difficult situation, you might question how you ended up there.

Here I am, It was me How does one end up crashing
You take responsibility for your actions, but still don't understand how you keep ending up in negative situations.

Here I am, It was me How does this shit keep happening
You acknowledge that the negative patterns in your life are a result of your own actions.

Don't think that I ever forgot What it feels like to be bottomed out, to rot
You remember what it's like to hit rock bottom and feel like everything is falling apart.

Don't know if I could ever turn Myself around enough to be my lantern
You're unsure if you can change enough to be the guiding light in your own life.
