Lightning Rod

I am waiting on a mountain top

For the moment that the sky will strike

My apologies are forever lost

Soon to ashes in a flash of light

Miles away from me

Hope is fading soon

Gone forever it's a waste of time

My intentions like a sweeter room

Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside

I look to the stars and ask why

Oh if they could just teach my dark heart to feel

All I've saved oh why)

Is thrown away

I am waning like a single bloom

Lost forever in the storm of life

My intentions like a sweeter room

Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside

I look to the stars and ask why

Oh if they could just show these wounds how to heal

Here I am oh why)

My last stand oh why)

And I know for all the rising and falling

There's nothing to show

Throw me down throw me down throw me down

It's been raining

And now I will pay

Woe has come to me

I am the lightning rod

I am waiting

On a mountaintop

Oh above me

He will strike me

Locked up forever inside

I look to the stars and ask why

Oh if they could just teach my dark heart to feel

All I am oh why)

My last stand oh why)

And I know for all the rising and falling

There's nothing to show
