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

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?
