Living Lightning

Running into the jaws of a night unknown

Following the stars that misguide me so

I dance to the silence of my humming tone

Falling prey to its beatless drum

Seeking the storm to mock empty light

Looking for thunder to strike a shadow's plight

So at least I can find solace in its embrace

So at least I can never stop to think again

For just a fleeting second, let storm upon me

Let me live in lightning; let me bleed the rain

And in its gentle cold, may someone pray

For the momentous brilliance of a life astray
