Lightning Rod

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
(Throw me down, throw me down)
(Throw me down) It's been raining
(Throw me down) And now 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 mountaintop
(Throw me down) Oh above me
(Throw me down) He will strike me!

[Chorus]
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
