The bitter resentment that comes with your words What should be a blessing, you see as a curse And somewhere inside all the anger and shame A voice still unspoken whose message remains I am a war where neither side wins Already destruction before it begins Inevitable outcome, the world set in flames And I am your target and then yours to blame Oh volcano, hurts the only life you know Where do I run 'til your fire is done? I'm on my own Oh volcano, I have to let you go Destroy what you create, just self-detonate Alone High on a tightrope, volcanoes erupt And take what I love and then turn into dust I fall in the ash with what little remains You pick up the pieces and break them again I am a war where neither side wins Already destruction before it begins Running in circles alone in this maze Stuck in this game that I don't want to play Oh volcano, hurts the only life you know Where do I run 'til your fire is done? I'm on my own Oh volcano, I have to let you go Destroy what you create, just self-detonate Alone One broken soul who just wants to be loved And one person who never cared quiet enough Different excuses, the ending's the same And I can't diffuse it, I can't make you change Oh volcano, hurts the only life you know Where do I run 'til your fire is done? I'm on my own Oh volcano, I have to let you go Destroy what you create, just self-detonate Alone
