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]
