  • beaches, make the sand white
    make the sand, all romantic and shit
    palm trees, branches, imagine them, green, naive and shining with pride
    oh arrogant island, be buried in
    humility like your beaches were buried in ash (buried in ash)
    who will, remember you, now? (now)

    billows and billows, see the smoke rise, a smoke stack for every sin
    but did they believe that, at the center of the island was a volcano?
    oh no. oh no!

    who will remember you now? youre dead and gone
    we came here on a plane, just a couple of scientists, oh oh oh!
    among the ruins and remains, this island could have been saved, oh oh oh!

    but some people just choose death and cant see a way out
    till their bones are all thats left, and their cests are hollowed out
    some people never know, too caught up in the beautiful
    that their hearts a volcano Writer/s: KIRK CHRISTIAN HUFFMAN, NICHOLAS HUNTER NEWSHAM, ROBERT EARL DARLING, RUDY BYRON GAJADHAR
