Mount St. Helens

He hides his vices On the shelf, behind the spices The only reason he cooks dinner every night Always preaching about Jesus And his teachings A lowly sinner hiding in plain sight The sky begins to darken The earth begins to shake He didn't know his latest secret Was the last one he could take Anyone could become Mount St. Helens When you do not heed the warning signs Anyone could become Mount St. Helens All it takes is some pressure and time She hides denial Behind the curtain of a smile It keeps the wolves of "how're you doing?" at bay She keeps praying everything that she's been saying Will still be true at the end of every day Her sky begins to darken She doesn't seem to know What happens to these feelings When given nowhere else to go Anyone could become Mount St. Helens When you do not heed the warning signs Anyone could become Mount St. Helens All it takes is some pressure and time Though I can't begin to know What you've been going through Everyone can see the devastation Left in its wake How do I handle Every flicker of the candle Knowing darkness awaits me On the other side Put into action Countless days spent on distraction Until I stand alone With no place left to hide Though my sky begins to darken The truth was right there all along God help my friends and family If I don't put it in a song Anyone could become Mount St. Helens When you do not heed the warning signs Anyone could become Mount St. Helens All it takes is some pressure and time Pressure and time Pressure and time Pressure and time
