Count to Ten

(Erika Poling)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... 10. I have to count to ten before the volcano erupts. Life comes at you fast and stress can build up before you realize you're about to explode. We've all felt overwhelmed before..

[Verse 1]

I fill the holes in pink because
That’s what happens when my blood and tears meet
My heaven’s been off the deep end since
I have an angelic meanness 
And I’m not afraid to jump in the holy lake
That’s Inside my mind of demons 

I’m no angel but I have an angelic face 
Or a devilish sweetness in a lonely place 
But it’s not water or fire or ice 
It’s made of a pool of molten lava 

[Chorus] 

And sometimes the volcano cries pink in the sea 
That’s what happens when my blood finally leaks 
When my skin gets too thin and I can no longer hold it in 
And then it bubbles up before I erupt 
And that’s when I know I gotta 

Count to ten, count to ten 
Breathe it in, breathe it in 
And then breathe it out, breathe it out
It’s time I found, it’s time I found 
It’s time I found my middle ground 
Count to ten, count to ten 
I gotta count to ten, count to ten 

[Verse 2]

There’s thicker water and thinner blood
I don’t cry enough but I bleed too much 
I’m afraid to love or 
Maybe I’m afraid to be loved 
I’ve felt the pain but I’ve had enough 

[Chorus]

And sometimes the volcano cries pink in the sea 
That’s what happens when my blood finally leaks 
When my skin gets too thin and I can no longer hold it in 
And then it bubbles up before I erupt 
And that’s when I know I gotta 

Count to ten, count to ten 
Breathe it in, breathe it in 
And then breathe it out, breathe it out
It’s time I found, it’s time I found 
It’s time I found my middle ground 
Count to ten, count to ten 
I gotta count to ten, count to ten
