[Intro]

My name is volatile

I’ve been this way a long while

I’d surely like to rest but the energy gets the best of me and

It’s been a wild ride

I wouldn’t change a minute

I can’t slow down inside, guess that’s why I live it

(Watch it now!)


[Verse 1]

The years of mischief

Followed by weeks of thrift

I land on earth’s hard face

No legs could keep that pace

And through the rest I sift


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Is there ever a time

When the state of sleeping willingly leaves my mind


[Bridge 1]

Highly frustrated wanna feel elated

Come Monday morn', you feel checkmated

You can be uncool and become the rule

Exceptions were made to drown


[Pre-Chorus 2]

I’m not used to it, you’d think I’d be by now

The ins, the outs, the ups and the downs


[Chorus]

I wanna make a mess

I wanna blow off stress

I wanna stoke the fire

Just creatures for a while

I wanna make a mess

I wanna blow off stress

I wanna stoke the fire

Just creatures, just creatures


[Post-Chorus]

It comes and goes and comes and goes

Sometimes I go a little crazy

Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do


[Verse 2]

I know what you were gonna say

But were afraid to cause dismay

Your lyrics switched around

The mixture watered down

And now a pointless display


[Pre-Chorus 3]

It’s something one won’t understand

Unless they're in it with me hand in hand


[Bridge 2]

Don’t buy the fear, don’t buy that my dear

The things you love you must keep near and

Carry on and you won’t feel withdrawn

Even if you’re coming down


[Pre-Chorus 4]

Sometimes it’s wearable, sometimes it's bearable

I careen towards balance til’ the glass is full


[Chorus]

I wanna make a mess

I wanna blow off stress

I wanna stoke the fire

Just creatures for a while

I wanna make a mess

I wanna blow off stress

I wanna stoke the fire

Just creatures, just creatures

It comes and goes and comes and goes


[Interlude]

Sometimes

Sometimes I get a little out there

Sometimes I go off

Sometimes just like you


[Outro]

I go a little crazy

Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do

Sometimes I go a little crazy

Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do
