Lightning Rod

Heart attack

Junk in the box

I've been here so long

I'm starting to rot

And you're taking my fear

Selling it in jugs

Back on the playground,

My knee socks are bloody

I need someone to toss the confetti

At the ticker tape parade

I'm falling for myself

Look to the flower

She used to be pretty

Don't say a word,

But she's drying out slowly

You have the answers

I have the car keys

Lightning rod

Straps on my shoulders

I'm searching through windows

For rain & for thunder

That could bring to merciful

And this overdrawn way

Carpet burns

Up to my elbows

It's time that you learn

I guess I should tell you

That the things you know about me

Never were true

Look to the flower

I used to be pretty

Don't say a word,

But I'm drying out quickly

You have the answers

I have the car keys
