When the beer cans win the war
And they take over your bedroom floor;
When the spine on your sketchbook starts to crack
Will you stop drawing faces on the shadow of a man?

Who took nine years away,
Away from you?
Don't search the mouths of thieves
When you're searching for the truth.

If there are lies in this house
You let them crash too many nights on your couch.
You always let your lies crash too many nights on the couch.
You were a volcano, man
You were a volcano, man
You were a volcano, man
But you're just a crater now,
Just a crater now.

When the cop car swallowed you whole
You bore your teeth like you'd never bare your soul
Eyes red as warpaint glistened like two crystal balls,
And you glared through the glass like a kicked and kenneled dog.

If you had your way
I know that you would blame us all
As if we were the links in a choke chain
Rubbing your neck raw

If there are chains in this house
You let them crash too many nights on your couch.
You always let your lies crash too many nights on the couch.
You were a volcano, man
You were a volcano, man
You were a volcano, man
You were a volcano, man


Its time, it's time
That you light the escape fires now
Outrun the trees
Outrun the trees before the forest burns down.

It's time, it's time
That you make all those plans you been talking about
Outrun the trees,
Outrun the trees before the forest burns down, down

Take my hand
I'm reaching out.
