Static & Lightning

Voice in my head telling me that

I can't go forward and I can't go back

So I sit down and pray, but I know I can't change

Choices I've made and the baggage I've packed

All these warning signs

I've played rewind

Oh, and I said it's fine

But, Jesus, He knows that I'm lying

Voice in the silence

It's blinding

There's one thing I can't seem to find

Oh, it's the static and lightning

From the spark that we never did light

Oh Lord, I'm trying to see past my eyelids

To a time when things weren't moving so fast

Called out my name, carve out my grave

The simple things, they never last

No, they never last

Give me Your love, show me Your grace

Tell me it isn't too late

And open my eyes

Banish the violence

Come wrap me inside Your embrace

Oh, and I said it's fine

But, Jesus, He knows that I'm lying

Voice in the silence

It's blinding

There's one thing I can't seem to find

Oh, it's the static and lightning

From the spark that we never did light

Oh Lord, I'm trying to see past my eyelids

To a time when things weren't moving so fast

Called out my name, carve out my grave

The simple things, they never last

No, they never last

Oh, oh, oh

Maybe it's cynical, maybe it's right

Maybe these chemicals blurring the line

And if I'm just cynical, right place, wrong time

I felt invincible, but now that I'm trying

Now I can see what it's like

Voice in the silence

It's blinding

There's one thing I can't seem to find

Oh, it's the static and lightning

From the spark that we never did light

Oh Lord, I'm trying to see past my eyelids

To a time when things weren't moving so fast

Called out my name, carve out my grave

The simple things, they never last

No, they never last
