Offspring - Lightning Rod Lyrics

Whaoooohoooohooooo

On a mission started by my own admission,
I will leave you all behind.
Bi-direction I create my own protection,
the real me you'll never find.

Aspirations turn to fear of desperation,
Nothing's ever good enough for you.
Burning inside cause I see there's no tomorrow,
I'm only seeing what I want you to.

Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way underneath inside is the real me,
I'm always gonna hide, so this is who you'll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way up deep inside me you havent found me yet,
I'm always gonna hide, so this is who you'll get.

Whaoooohoooohooooo

On a mission to establish my ???
you may think that you have won.
Your rejection has bought on my introspection,
I'll escape it all and run.

Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushing me.
Burn inside cause I see theres no tomorrow,
Only I know which me you'll see.

Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way underneath beside me is the real me,
I´m always gonna hide it, this is who you´ll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way underneath beside me you havent found me yet,
I'm always gonna hide it, this is who you´ll get.

Whaoooohoooohooooo

Break away.
Run.I am waiting on a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies are forever lost
Soon two ashes in a flash of light

Miles away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever is a waste of time
My intentions like this waiting 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 change my dark heart to feel
All our self away
Thrown away

I am waiting like the single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions like this waiting 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
My last stand
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 I will pay
World must come to me
I am a lightning rod

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
World above me
He will strike me

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh if they could just change my dark heart to feel

All I am
My last stand
And I know for all the rising and falling there's nothing to show
Down inside.
I've got to push away.
Down.
I did not choose this.
God Dammit!

I don't really now, what I wanna say,
I can't afford to throw, god make it go away now.
Try to make it through, fuck your decision,
I can feel myself but I'm burning up now.

Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna find me)
Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna find me)
Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna)
Whaoooohoooohooooo
