Eruption

Verse 1

Everybody sees the mountain

Standing quiet in the rain

Like it never knew destruction

Like it never knew its name

But underneath the stillness

Under all that frozen stone

There’s a pressure moving slowly

Like it’s learning how to grow

Pre-Chorus

I got good at staying quiet

I got good at holding down

Chorus

I’m an eruption waiting

Beneath a sleeping sky

All this silence only means

Something heavier inside

Every word I never said

Every truth I let decay

Turns into a shaking ground

That won’t stay buried anyway

I’m an eruption waiting

Verse 2

Years collected like a warning

Layered deep in burning time

I kept stacking up the pressure

Like it was a friend of mine

But nothing stays still forever

Nothing learns to disappear

Even stone remembers heat

Even calm is built on fear

Pre-Chorus

And every crack along my skin

Feels like it’s calling out

Chorus

I’m an eruption waiting

Beneath a sleeping sky

All this silence only means

Something heavier inside

Every word I never said

Every truth I let decay

Turns into a shaking ground

That won’t stay buried anyway

I’m an eruption waiting

Bridge

And when it comes

It won’t be graceful

It won’t be clean

It’ll be every swallowed moment

Breaking everything between

All the nights I held my breath

Thinking I could keep control

Turn to fire in the silence

Turning over every soul

Final Chorus

I’m an eruption waiting

And the mountain knows my name

All this quiet was just cover

For a storm I never named

Every love I never held

Every path I never chose

Turns into a breaking line

That finally starts to show

I’m an eruption waiting

Outro

Don’t call it anger

Don’t call it pain

Just a mountain learning how

To break itself open again
