i call this 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 its 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
is 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
and i know
for all th rising and falling
theres nothing to show
