There's a dragon 

Blowing fire 

In my ventricles 

And I can feel 

The grip now 

Of these tentacles 

And I had ideas 

Back when I was very young 

Like the back of my hand 

I thought I'd understand 

But now I find myself 

Just playing dumb 



[CHORUS]



Heartburn 

And my soul 

Is red raw 

Inside 

Heartburn 

And don't the world look different 

When you're lying on the floor 

Heartburn 

And my soul 

Is red raw 

Inside 

Heartburn 

And don't the world look different 

When you're lying on the floor 



There's a lion 

Tearing holes 

In my ventricles 

And I'm feeling 

The effect now 

Of these combining chemicals 

And I had ideas 

Back when I was very young 

I thought I could weather the storm 

I would not need your warmth 

But now I find myself 

Just praying for the sun 



[CHORUS]



I'm not joking 

The floor is sloping 

Towards the things I never wanted to be near 

The drop of a tear 

Another year 

Seen in retrospect 

Images I collect 

Answers correct 

As we continue 

To break and connect 



[CHORUS x2]
