There are two components in the globe of a lava lamp: a water-based component (the liquid), and an oil-based component (the lava). The liquid shouldn't "go hard", since it's basically water. However, the lava part might, since it's a mixture of several different compounds and over time the volatile parts tend to leech out of it, leaving behind mainly wax that doesn't get hot enough to melt.

lemon juice and water The two liquids in a lava lamp.
What does the liquid inside of a lava lamp consist of?
It is usually wax that melts as the lamp is turned on. When it is heated, it then begins to float around with the convection current created by the heat-generating lamp, thus creating the "lava" effect.
