Lyrics
I am lost

and a troubled soul

But it’s not

my ideal goal

I’m not in control

Now things are heating up

heating up

But I can’t hold it all

hold it all

(Volcano)

When all these thoughts build up

I self-destruct

When it becomes too much

It all erupts

(Krakatoa)

I break down

nobody gets me

they just say

you should be happy

but that’s not easy

Now things are heating up

heating up

But I can’t hold it all

hold it all

(Volcano)

When all these thoughts build up

I self-destruct

When it becomes too much

It all erupts

(Krakatoa)
