The Offspring - Lightning Rod lyrics
[The Offspring - Lightning Rod lyrics]
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 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
(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!
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
