lyrics

I feel bad for all of you people
You’re all stuck in your bland routines
I’ve come to unlock the secret
A real challenge but it’s what I need

I live in a volcano
In a little crevice just inside the crater
What a place, what a place to be
You think you’ve got it all figured out

And you think that I’m such a fool
Die at any time, burnt up and lonely
But I know your smiles are untrue
And the adversity is toughening me

I’ve become so enlightened
It’s almost too much to bear
I’d reach out my hand and ask you to join me
But frankly, for all of you, I just don’t care

They say variety is the spice of life
And things here are really heating up
You wake up, work, then fizzle out in the evenings
I’m living my best in here, and it’s incredible
I see all the lies that you lay out before me
That’s why I live in this volcano to begin with
And you think I’m crazy and this whole thing is ridiculous
But actually, you’re the one who’s crazy and ridiculous!

We’re all going to the same place
But your ways are bland and your dreams are small
I’m going there in a way that’s far more interesting
I live in a fucking volcano, after all
This is all a risk that I have to take
This life of mine is my true call

I’m the heroic
Volcano Man
Misunderstood genius
Volcano Man
Humble and generous
Volcano Man
You better know it
Volcano Man

Things in here are really heating up now
This may be my greatest challenge yet
Okay no seriously it’s actually getting really hot in here
Oh God, oh God, oh God

AHHHH OH GOD
OH GOD I TAKE IT ALL BACK
MY SHRIEKS DROWNED OUT
AS THE EARTH BENEATH ME SPLITS IN HALF
