Lyrics

Lightning Strike

My father used to wake me up
On a blankless night
No fear or concern of walking
Under the newborn light

Yeah he'd tear me up
And fought off the shame
I'll never talk it off
There's only one to blame

We walked when we shivered
It never calmed us down
We slept and still felt strange
We're sort of all the same

Well you called my bluff
You got you got the blood spin
You better lock me up
You got you got the blood spin
You know you knocked me down
You got you got the blood spin
You better back me up
You got you got the blood spin

Fall again
Broke and bound

Yeah that anger caught
Smelled a storm at noon
Not to share my thoughts
More likely fix my tune

But when I'd see him well up
It'd truly break my heart
And so I'd smash my head
That in me it wouldn't start

I walked when we shivered
It never calmed us down
I slept and still felt strange
We're sort of all the same

Well you called my bluff
You got you got the blood spin
You better lock me up
You got you got the blood spin
You know you knocked me down
You got you got the blood spin
You better back me up
You got you got the blood spin

Fall again
Broke and bound
