'Lightning' was written in the middle of a night, during a lightning storm when I was feeling really down, depressed and confused. I don't really like the dark but the lightning was wierd without any thunder, so it was kinda spooky. So that's where this song came from. Enjoy...

'Lightning'

(quiet)

(kick in)

Stupid people say I should relax
Little people say I should take a day off
People say I should go to sleep
But that means tomorrow comes quickly

(quiet)

I feel so confused deep down inside
I don't know where to run this time
I don't know where to hide
I don't know how I can feel my mind...

(kick in)

(quiet)

I'm living in two worlds today
One is home and one is far away
From what i'm used to
It's not what I would usually do...

(kick in)

(quiet)

Don't know which path to take
One might lead to good times
The other might drown me in a lake
The pressure builds up inside me...

(quiet)

(build up)

(chorus)

Lightning flashes across the sky
Spells out words
How and why
It knows me better than I know myself
Knows what to do to improve my mental health
I'm twisting turning insane
The lightning sending me down the wrong lane...

(filler)

(kick in)

(quiet)

Bright sparks light up my bedroom
I think i'm deaf I can't hear sense
I think this is sounding my doom
Making me feel mad and tense...

(kick in)

(quiet)

I go to the door
Try to open it
I won't let me out
won't let me forget

Try to jump out of the window
And end it all
Lightning mocks me
And breaks my fall

(kick in)

(quiet)

My eyes pop out at a bulge of light
I wonder why at a scary sight
I don't want to run
I think I might
I'm all alone, it's given me a fright

A scare
A wonder where
I don't know what to do anymore
I'm confused
Confused
And feeling poor...

(quiet)

(build up)

(chorus)

(filler)

I can't fall asleep
I can't forget
I end up clock watching
I wake up
Sit up
In my bed
I wake up covered in cold sweat

(kick in)

(quiet)

No, no one around will help
They only ever think of self
I bang on the door
Try to escape
Words won't come out
My mouth bound by tape...

(quiet)

(build up)

(chorus)

(filler)

(end)
