Lightning Rod — The Offspring

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 from 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 - why Is thrown away

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 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 is 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
