View 02:37
Nostalgia’s dangerous, when you left a part of you behind For self-preservation, you’ll let that part of you die What you think is no longer reality Face the fire, it’s more than what you will see And now we’re going anywhere we can’t be seen I know we’re broken, but it’s what you need You’ll resign another piece of you Give up a memory, enjoy the view You’ll say, enjoy the view You’ll say, enjoy the view It was torturous, I cut that out of my mind For self-preservation, I let that part of me die What you think is no longer reality Face the fire, it’s more than what you will see And now we’re going anywhere we can’t be seen I know we’re broken, but it’s what you need You’ll resign another piece of you Give up a memory, enjoy the view You’ll say, enjoy the view You’ll say, enjoy the view You’ll resign another piece of you You’ll resign another piece of you You’ll say, enjoy the view You’ll say, enjoy the view You’ll resign another piece of you Give up a memory, enjoy the view You’ll say, you’ll say, You’ll say, enjoy the view

Lava 03:28
You lock your doors at night How many more you gonna try? You put yourself down in the dirt And I’ll call it second sight A little loneliness at times You put yourself down in the dirt Why does it hurt when I’m falling in love? Taking the plunge, is it ever enough? I’m swimming in lava I’m swimming in lava again Why does it hurt when I’m falling in love? Taking the plunge, is it ever enough? I’m swimming in lava I’m swimming in lava again While there’s lights on you really should Do something ‘bout that childhood You put yourself down in the dirt I know its not just black and white It’s blue and grey at different times You put yourself down in the dirt Why does it hurt when I’m falling in love? Taking the plunge, is it ever enough? I’m swimming in lava I’m swimming in lava again Why does it hurt when I’m falling in love? Taking the plunge, is it ever enough? I’m swimming in lava I’m swimming in lava again ‘Cause it erupted at the time and we barely made it out at all ‘Cause it erupted at the time and we barely made it out at all ‘Cause it erupted at the time and we barely made it out at all ‘Cause it erupted at the time and we barely made it out at all ‘Cause it erupted at the time and we barely made it out at all ‘Cause it erupted at the time and we barely made it out at all
