Lava Rocks
You can read between my lines
Sometimes they burn on the neon signs
A smile bathed in a glow
If you pull the chain
We might chase the chill
From a long dark night
Do as you like
It doesn't make no
Never mind-
Can't live inside a volcano
Hear the bell strike
The hour you should-
Never mind
Glass shoes are no good
Blindly eyeing the design
I am strangling in the grapevine
Baring teeth in a row
Burn it in your brain
So it's engraved until
The dragons take flight
Do as you like...
Hear the noise in the backround
Silently tell its tail as it's been wound
Molten lava whip smart
Screaming the profane
Heal a broken heart
Before the sun light
