OFFSPRING - Lightning Rod lyrics

rate me

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

If they could just teach my dark heart to feel

All I've saved - oh why

Thrown away

I am waiting

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

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

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

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
