Lyrics

Lightning Strike

My father used to wake me up

On a blankless night

No fear or concern of walking

Under the newborn light

Yea 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 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 the blood spin

Fall again

Broke and bound
