Lonely Lightning

Lightning strikes but it don’t say a word

It’s loud but lonely like a caged-up bird

Sky’s on fire but it don’t feel warm

A quiet riot in the eye of a storm

Oh lonely lightning

Flash and fade

You light the night but you're still afraid

Oh lonely lightning

Burn so bright

But you're gone before the fight

I’m a shadow chasing a flicker of light

Running blind through the edge of night

The ground shakes but my heart stands still

A spark’s a thrill but it won’t fulfill

I see you blink

I see you break

A storm's the noise we never make

Oh lonely lightning

Flash and fade

You light the night but you're still afraid

Oh lonely lightning

Burn so bright

But you're gone before the fight

We’re both streaks in the same dark sky

Silent screams that wave goodbye

The clouds may roar

The rain may cry

But lonely lightning never lies
