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?)

Thrown away, oh-oh

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, oh-oh

Throw me down

Throw me down

Throw me down (it's been raining)

Throw me down (and I will pay)

Throw me down (woe is come to me)

Throw me down (I am the lightning rod)

Throw me down (I am waiting)

Throw me down (on a mountain top)

Throw me down (oh, above me)

Throw me down (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, oh-oh
