Volcanoes
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 Don’t hold yourself like that
You’ll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
That’s all I need
Don’t build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask for the sea
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask…
What I give to you
Is just what I’m going through
This is nothing new
No, no, just another phase of finding
what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Like a new disease
But still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt you down…
