lyrics
I'm terrified of lightning,
But in this storm the lightning is my only lighting,
With a vicious crack the sky is torn in half,
In that sudden flash I can see my roadmap pointing home,
And I know where crooked streets go,
My steps are strong and sure,
But when the thunder starts to roll,
Then all my failures from before crash through my mind and I forget what the lightning is for.
I'm so damn tired of silence,
Sometimes words unsaid are the most vicious forms of violence,
Because though I may know you're dying,
I'm too busy running scared or hiding from my reflection to shine a light,
To help you find your way through this darkest night,
And though my failure's been pointed out,
If there's one last phrase I could shout it'd be:
Here in the blood this is the love that I've found,
Here in the blood this is the love that I've found.
And I know where crooked streets go,
My steps are strong and sure,
But when the thunder starts to roll,
Then all my failures from before crash through my mind and I forget what the lightning is for.
But in this storm the lightning is my only lighting,
With a vicious crack the sky is torn in half,
In that sudden flash I can see my roadmap pointing home,
And I know where crooked streets go,
My steps are strong and sure,
But when the thunder starts to roll,
Then all my failures from before crash through my mind and I forget what the lightning is for.
I'm so damn tired of silence,
Sometimes words unsaid are the most vicious forms of violence,
Because though I may know you're dying,
I'm too busy running scared or hiding from my reflection to shine a light,
To help you find your way through this darkest night,
And though my failure's been pointed out,
If there's one last phrase I could shout it'd be:
Here in the blood this is the love that I've found,
Here in the blood this is the love that I've found.
And I know where crooked streets go,
My steps are strong and sure,
But when the thunder starts to roll,
Then all my failures from before crash through my mind and I forget what the lightning is for.
