Lightning in a Bottle

Same clothes

Same bed

4 walls

1 head

Am I too far gone

or just too scared

Scared of failing

Hiding away in a basement

No backbone

Got no peace

With all those vultures flying in the streets

Yeah I made mistakes I used to bleed

But now Im scared of failing

Hiding away in a basement

when I get like this

I think of my mothers eyes

And how shed tell me itll all work out alright

But you wont catch lightning in a bottle

lightning in a bottle

if you dont go outside

and feel the rain

feel the rain

So Ill try

To soak it in

And if it hurts

At least Ill be living

Ill let the world see where Ive been

And if I end up failing

Shell be my safe haven

Cause when I get like this

when I get like this

I think of my mothers eyes

And how shed tell me itll all work out alright

But you wont catch lightning in a bottle

lightning in a bottle

if you dont go outside

and feel the rain

feel the rain
