The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’m a volcano and I’ll make a sound
Can you feel me I’m trembling, I’m gathering ground
I am a sailor so I’ll take the risk
You can stay anchored and go down with your ship
Well I was an engine, I was running on empty
You were bleeding me dry, now I’m feeding on plenty
Whilst you the ungraspable vacuous void
The pretence of a man, but a broken and lost little boy
So I am a church, but where are the people
Arise from your slumber, don’t cling to the steeple
Finding the chord, staying close to the few
Unpick the old whilst you’re weaving and breathing the new
I'm a bittersweet song, when so much is lost
Reclaiming my ground but it’s come at great cost
Clinging to substance is what I have missed
'Cos I am the willow, and you are the wisp
So I am a ritual, with intentions to follow
Training my soul to dance for tomorrow
Though you may shoot me, abuse me with lies
Still I will rise, I will rise and I will rise
So I’m a volcano, erupting right now
Can you feel me I’m angry, I’m gathering ground
I am a sailor so I’ll take the risk
Head facing horizons, I’m breaking through the mist
'Cos I am the willow, whilst you will stay a wisp.
