lyrics

Volcano Child - Lyrics

Intro:

Cm Ab F G / Cm Ab Bb G Cm G /

Verse 1

Cm Ab
I live on the side of a Volcano Child
F G
It’s a volatile place with an innocent face
Cm Ab
The bubbling pain of a lifetime of shame
F G
Stirs in the depths of her core

Chorus 1

Cm Ab
Don’t you make sense out of me
Bb G
Don’t you, no
Cm Ab
Don’t you try to tempt me
Bb G Cm Ab
Away from my Volcano Child

Verse 2

Gentle tears rain from brazen blue eyes
Hiroshima ashes from mascara lashes
Moisten the mask, etching grooves of the past
Molten memories pour

Chorus 2

And don’t you make sense out of me
Don’t you, no
Don’t you try to tempt me?
Away from my Volcano Child G

Solo

Eb Bb Eb B / Em B7 Em A /
F C F G / Cm Ab Cm Bb /
Ab (Aug4 maj7) Cm Ab G /

Verse 3

The retching and heaving, is there hope of relieving
This infernal pressure I’m frightened I’m freezing
I’m shaking and quaking, insufferable breaking
Explosions shatter her core

Verse 4

Nightmare or dream I don’t want to be seen
No one will hear my primal scream
I sneak and I shy, round corners I hide
From myself and my Volcano Child

Chorus 3

And don’t you make sense out of me
Don’t you, no
Don’t you try to tempt me?
G
Away

Chorus 4

Don’t you make sense out of me
Don’t you, no
Don’t you try to tempt me?
Away from my volcano child

Outro:

Cm Ab F G / Cm Ab Bb G Cm
