Lyrics
[Verse]
Walking blind through the midnight hall
Shadows stretching tall along the wall
A wooden corner waiting in the dark
Right foot finds the heavy oak mark
Everything stops in a flash of white
The universe collapses into the night
I’m bracing for the surge to arrive
It’s a miracle that I’m still alive
[Chorus]
White hot lightning in my bones
God is hearing all my groans
Tearing through the skin and soul
Losing every bit of control
White hot lightning in my bones
Left me shaking here alone
Everything is falling apart
A wooden stake right through my heart
[Verse]
Nails digging deep into my palms
Nothing in this world is feeling calm
I’m dancing on a single shaking knee
The floorboards are my only enemy
Kitchen tiles look like a cold grave
There isn't any dignity to save
I’m biting down until my jaw breaks
Counting every single breath it takes
[Chorus]
White hot lightning in my bones
God is hearing all my groans
Tearing through the skin and soul
Losing every bit of control
White hot lightning in my bones
Left me shaking here alone
Everything is falling apart
A wooden stake right through my heart
[Bridge]
Why does the air feel so heavy and thick
I’m turning inside out and feeling sick
The coffee table is a mountain of lead
I wish I stayed inside my bed instead
Just let the numbness take it all away
I’ve got nothing left to say
[Chorus]
White hot lightning in my bones
God is hearing all my groans
Tearing through the skin and soul
Losing every bit of control
White hot lightning in my bones
Left me shaking here alone
Everything is falling apart
A wooden stake right through my heart
[Outro]
