Lightning and Thunder

Wake up. What's your first thought? Am I able to move?
Feel around, find some footing. Will I fall on the first step?
It's too far away to think about
I can't get off the ground

You'll see human suffering all around
If you look, it's not hard. Can they see you?
Too many inherited experiences, shit we choose not to think about
It all takes place on our watch

It's not that there aren't any alternatives, we have the wealth
Think about the options and what steps will be traced back to you

There's a pain in my head like a ten-foot free fall
Headfirst on to concrete
My brain's been saved though I still can't stop these
Streaks that tear through my eyes
There's lightning and thunder inside
There's lightning and thunder inside

I've been walking about a minute now, gently rocking side to side
Everything takes forever, there's no quick trip to the store
First stop is a sit down, I pretend that I smoke
Cause I don't even have any cigarettes

And so I breathe in and tell myself, 'Today is the day'
Then I exhale and push it out all the way. How did I let you get away?

There's a pain in my head like a ten-foot free fall
Headfirst on to concrete
My brain's been saved though I still can't stop these
Streaks that tear through my eyes
There's lightning and thunder inside
There's lightning and thunder inside

There's no love on the streets these days
Most of my friends have gone insane
And strangers look stranger everyday
They look at me, to them I'm free, and good for nothing

There's a pain in my head like a ten-foot free fall
Headfirst on to concrete
My brain's been saved though I still can't stop these
Streaks that tear through my eyes
There's lightning and thunder inside
There's lightning and thunder inside

There's no love on the streets these days
Most of my friends have gone insane
And strangers look stranger everyday
They look at me, to them I'm free, and good for nothing
