Lightning Rods Lyrics

it hits me
frequently
like lights
at makeout parties
slow burning
inside out
jack o lantern
smashed and thrown out
maybe i
ask for it
like lightning
rods in torrents
maybe you'll
forget this
just like homeless
after christmas
still burning
now quiet
like buildings
after riots
throw me and
forget me
just like flowers
after weddings
just use me
then leave me
for the next
just like good parking
apologize
for all this
just like sober
alcoholics
and if you ever see me falling
i'll be the hammer
you'll be the nail
and if you ever see me falling
you'll be the sidewalk
i'll be the hail

now watch me melt away
