In an instant lightning flashes |
| [00:05.16] |
And the burst might leave me blind |
| [00:07.72] |
|
| [00:09.93] |
When the bolt of lightning crashes |
| [00:12.54] |
And it burns right through my mind |
| [00:15.44] |
|
| [00:17.73] |
It's like someone drained my brain out |
| [00:19.76] |
Set my frozen mind to thaw |
| [00:22.50] |
|
| [00:24.76] |
Let the lethargy and pain out |
| [00:27.23] |
While I stood and watched in awe |
| [00:29.95] |
|
| [00:32.43] |
I am riding on the brightest buzz |
| [00:35.46] |
|
| [00:35.97] |
I am worlds away from who I was |
| [00:39.53] |
And they told me it would change me |
| [00:41.88] |
Though they don't know how it does |
| [00:44.09] |
Though they don't know how it does |
| [00:47.15] |
I have lived a life of clouds and grey |
| [00:49.82] |
But this is crystal clear |
| [00:51.64] |
Wish I were here |
| [00:52.96] |
Wish I were here |
| [00:54.22] |
I imagine it's remarkable |
| [00:56.99] |
Exuberant austere |
| [00:59.01] |
Wish I were here wish I were here |
| [01:01.41] |
Wish I were here wish I were here |
| [01:04.05] |
It's euphoria it's anger |
| [01:06.43] |
It's the winter wind it's fire |
| [01:08.53] |
It's the winter wind it's fire |
| [01:11.54] |
And it kills my deepest hunger |
| [01:13.84] |
As it fills me with desire |
| [01:18.17] |
|
| [01:18.72] |
I'm the light and heat of every sun |
| [01:22.54] |
I'm a bullet from a magic gun |
| [01:25.48] |
|
| [01:26.32] |
And I'm trying to enjoy it |
| [01:28.41] |
But I'm missing all the fun I am missing all the fun |
| [01:33.41] |
Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling |
| [01:36.23] |
The hope the heat and fear |
| [01:37.85] |
Wish I were here wish I were here |
| [01:40.97] |
Is this someone else's head trip |
| [01:43.53] |
Do I just disappear |
| [01:45.56] |
Wish I were here wish I were here |
| [01:48.00] |
Wish I were here wish I were here |
| [01:51.50] |
|
| [01:59.67] |
Plug me in |
| [02:01.09] |
And turn me on |
| [02:03.45] |
And flip the switch |
| [02:05.70] |
I'm good as gone |
| [02:07.74] |
It slips my skin |
| [02:09.82] |
And trips my brain |
| [02:11.99] |
I feel the burn |
| [02:13.99] |
But I don't feel the pain |
| [02:18.94] |
Is my brain reborn |
| [02:20.23] |
Or is it wrecked |
| [02:21.48] |
In freedom or in fear |
| [02:23.37] |
Wish I were here wish I were |
| [02:26.40] |
Have I blown my mind forever |
| [02:28.75] |
Is cloudy my new clear |
| [02:30.73] |
Wish I were here wish I |
| [02:33.54] |
Wish I were here |
| [02:35.72] |
Wish I were |
| [02:37.00] |
|
| [02:42.74] |
Can I hide my stupid hunger |
| [02:47.42] |
Fake some confidence and cheer |
| [02:52.11] |
|
| [02:52.77] |
Wish I were here |
| [02:58.70] |
|
| [02:59.54] |
Wish I were here |
