Lightning
Verse 1:
Lonely heart, lonesome sleeps
Silently I sit and weep
Shocked up on the power lines
Where love and I would once reside
Jolted lover, sick of lies
Surged emotions, compromised
Pre-Chorus:
Another guy, another fling
Another bitter song to sing
Another cloud beckoning
Another spark gone with the wind.
Chorus:
Smoke and mirrors. False reflections.
Things aren't always what they seem
Thunderstorms and pure deception
He struck me with his lightning
Verse 2:
Blown out fuse, faded blues
Discharged our love, I've paid my dues.
Stars can’t be seen in the light
Fireflies only glow at night
Static ways meant we blacked out
Cast aspersions into self-doubt
Pre-Chorus:
Another guy, another fling
Another bitter song to sing
Another cloud beckoning
Another spark gone with the wind
Chorus:
Smoke and mirrors. False reflections.
Things aren't always what they seem
Thunderstorms and pure deception
He struck me with his lightning
Bridge:
I've been running out on empty
Left my jump leads back at home
Now I'm running out on empty
Sparks can’t ignite under the dome
I've been running out on empty
I'm just a fragment of my dream
Now I'm running out on empty
The current is never how it seems
Chorus:
Smoke and mirrors. False reflections.
Things aren't always what they seem
Thunderstorms and pure deception
He struck me with his lightning
Outro:
Another guy, another fling
Another bitter song to sing
Another cloud beckoning
Another spark gone with the wind.
Not bad considering I deleted everything I had, started re-writing it in the final hours, had a meltdown, cried, quit, sent some nudes on snapchat before suddenly getting the urge to finish it
