Volcanic Breath

Sometimes the truth is hard to hear
So let me make this chrystal clear
The anger shines bright in your eyes

The hatred that you keep inside
The temper that you try to hide
Worn only by a thin disguise

All the bile sipped from the cup
Will find its way to burn you up
The clock ticks down before you fall

Volcanoes lurking under breath
Erupting into certain death
Destroying love in one and all

With danger standing near the ledge
And looking for a little edge
To cut you deep just like a knife

Don't think you're not a victim too
The pain you share comes back to you
And you'll regret it all your life
