Lightning Rod

Lyrics

People say I’m sturdy, like I’m bolted to the floor, A walking storm precaution — “Girl, you’ve handled worse before.” They rant, they cry, they spiral, and they hand me all their shocks, Meanwhile I’m over here grounded like a hundred metal blocks. 🎶 🎶 But listen — I don’t crack, I don’t crumble, don’t fold, I just take the current, turn the heat into gold. If you feel a storm coming, baby, aim it my way, I’ve been thunder-proof living since my very first day. 🎶 {Pre-Chorus} 🎶 I’m the conductor, interrupter, Reality’s lil’ buffer. Absorb it in a flash, Still strong enough not to turn to ash. I stand tall, I stand steady — But damn, y’all, I shouldn’t be this ready. 🎶 {Chorus} 🎶 ’Cause I’m a lightning rod — Hit me with your chaos, odds, and gods. Strike me once, strike me twice — Still standing here lookin’ pretty nice. All that voltage right beneath me, Ground it out so it can’t eat me. Go ahead, storm — I’ll take the shock, I’m your bolt-proof, emotionally charged rock. 🎶 {Verse 2} 🎶 Look at me over here, begging for it with no fear, “Use me! Shock, mock, lock it up in here.” I’m the storm’s favorite toy, I swear I’m weather’s best friend, But at least I know the current always leaves me in the end. 🎶 🎶 Call it noble, call it stupid, call it coping — I don’t care. I can handle hurricanes while brushing out my hair. You’re melting down spectacular, I’m sipping on my tea, Like, “You done? You good? Great — now hand it all to me.” 🎶 {Pre-Chorus 2} 🎶 I’m the conductor, interrupter, Emotional disruptor. Absorb it in a flash, Still strong enough not to crash. You can scream, spark, shake, unload — I’ll just send it down my lightning-proof road. 🎶 {Chorus 2} 🎶 Yeah, I’m a lightning rod — Take your storms and call me odd. Hit me hard, hit me fast, Still here, babe — built to last. Energy flows right beneath me, I don’t let the darkness eat me. Come on, storm — take your shot, I’m your bolt-proof, ride-the-weather rock. 🎶 {Bridge} 🎶 One day I might retire, Hang up this crown of fire, But till then, aim higher — Strike me true, inspire the wire. 🎶 🎶 And maybe someday someone’ll ask, “Who grounds you when thunder cracks?” And I’ll shrug, smirk, raise a brow like, “Girl… don’t worry about that.” 🎶 {Final Chorus} 🎶 Lightning rod — Keeper of the storms you brought. Strike me wild, strike me free — This voltage ain’t the end of me. Still upright, still pretty, Still the anchor in your city. Come on lightning, do your worst — I was built to take the hit first. 🎶 {Outro} 🎶 Grounding everything you drop… And somehow, I still don’t stop. ⚡🎶
