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, thrown away, oh 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 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 (Throw me down) And I will pay (Throw me down) Woe has come to me (Throw me down) I am the lightning rod (Throw me down) Well, I've been waiting (Throw me down) On a mountaintop (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
