There's a dragon
|
Blowing fire
|
In my ventricles
|
And I can feel
|
The grip now
|
Of these tentacles
|
And I had ideas
|
Back when I was very young
|
Like the back of my hand
|
I thought I'd understand
|
But now I find myself
|
Just playing dumb
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Heartburn
|
And my soul
|
Is red raw
|
Inside
|
Heartburn
|
And don't the world look different
|
When you're lying on the floor
|
Heartburn
|
And my soul
|
Is red raw
|
Inside
|
Heartburn
|
And don't the world look different
|
When you're lying on the floor
|
|
There's a lion
|
Tearing holes
|
In my ventricles
|
And I'm feeling
|
The effect now
|
Of these combining chemicals
|
And I had ideas
|
Back when I was very young
|
I thought I could weather the storm
|
I would not need your warmth
|
But now I find myself
|
Just praying for the sun
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
I'm not joking
|
The floor is sloping
|
Towards the things I never wanted to be near
|
The drop of a tear
|
Another year
|
Seen in retrospect
|
Images I collect
|
Answers correct
|
As we continue
|
To break and connect
|
|
[CHORUS x2]
|
