Lightning Rod

I am waiting on a mountaintop

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
