Lyrics
0:11I am waiting on a mountain top
0:13For the moment that the sky will strike
0:16My apologies are forever lost
0:18Soon to ashes in a flash of light
0:21Miles away from me
0:22Hope is fading soon
0:24Gone forever it's a waste of time
0:26My intentions like a sweeter room
0:29Only bring to me a fading light
0:31Locked up forever inside
0:36I look to the stars and ask why
0:41Oh if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
0:48All I've saved (oh why)
0:54Is thrown away
1:08I am waning like a single bloom
1:11Lost forever in the storm of life
1:13My intentions like a sweeter room
1:16Only bring to me a fading light
1:18Locked up forever inside
1:23I look to the stars and ask why
1:28Oh if they could just show these wounds how to heal
1:36Here I am (oh why)
1:41My last stand (oh why)
1:46And I know for all the rising and falling
1:52There's nothing to show
2:11Throw me down throw me down throw me down
2:18It's been raining
2:20And now I will pay
2:23Woe has come to me
2:26I am the lightning rod
2:28I am waiting
2:31On a mountaintop
2:33Oh above me
2:36He will strike me
2:37Locked up forever inside
2:42I look to the stars and ask why
2:47Oh if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
2:54All I am (oh why)
2:59My last stand (oh why)
3:04And I know for all the rising and falling
3:10There's nothing to show
I am waiting on a mountain top For the moment that the sky will strike My apologies are forever lost Soon to ashes in a flash of light Miles away from me Hope is fading soon Gone forever it's a waste of time My intentions like a sweeter room Only bring to me a fading light Locked up forever inside I look to the stars and ask why Oh if they could just teach my dark heart to feel All I've saved (oh why) Is thrown away I am waning like a single bloom Lost forever in the storm of life My intentions like a sweeter room Only bring to me a fading light Locked up forever inside I look to the stars and ask why Oh if they could just show these wounds how to heal Here I am (oh why) My last stand (oh why) And I know for all the rising and falling There's nothing to show Throw me down throw me down throw me down It's been raining And now I will pay Woe has come to me I am the lightning rod I am waiting On a mountaintop Oh above me He will strike me Locked up forever inside I look to the stars and ask why Oh if they could just teach my dark heart to feel All I am (oh why) My last stand (oh why) And I know for all the rising and falling There's nothing to show
