Lightning Rod ft. Box Head Lyrics

I should've known that this was doomed from the start

I should've known you were just playing a part

But you went and wormed your way right into my heart

And now that I'm stuck, I can't pull myself apart from you

You say you love me but I know that this ain't love

You get drunk, you start to scream and every word you say to me is meant to hurt me

You know you don't deserve me

But still I hold you tight despite the way you do me dirty

You know you're wrong, but you still say you're right

You wear me down so I won't put up a fight

You voice is thunder and your words are lightning

So when you strike, I take it all in silence

Call me your lightning rod

I'll take all of the blame like it's my fault

I'll take the fall for all your pain

I won't complain, I'm yours to burn

Kill me slowly with your words

I'm absorbing all your hurt

I can take it, do your worst

Strike me down like I deserve

I just been feeling so difficult

You're flipping your answers reciprocals

This shit is so you, it is so typical

I'm so original, I'm so obsessed

You are so literal, doin' my best

It's never enough, you shout and protest

But you never see me when I am progressin'

You never say shit and I'm learning my lesson

I'm trying to fight but it just isn't worth it

Give me a sign that I'm not the burden

Shit

Am I the burden?

And I'm sick of learning all this life shit

Like I never been right, shit

Like I'm trying and trying and always my best

May as well just forget it, I'm losing my patience

I'm picking my sweater, I'm starting to fray it

I'm getting more stressed and I'm moving away

I am more distant from me by the day

I am more distant from me by the day, aye

(It's Box Head)

I endure the storms you bring

Cause you mean so much to me

Even though you're hurting me

I know that I can't change a thing

Electrify me to my veins

Make me feel like I'm insane

All you do is cause me pain

And I'm always the one to blame

Call me your lightning rod

I'll take all of the blame like it's my fault

I'll take the fall for all your pain

I won't complain, I'm yours to burn

Kill me slowly with your words

I'm absorbing all your hurt

I can take it, do your worst

Strike me down like I deserve
