Lightning Rod Lyrics - Splinter - 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 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) 

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 

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 

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 

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
