lyrics

Lightning flashes creating a silhouette of a pirouetting ballerina (intricate with every step) under skyscraper trees with their mirror leaves dancing unison in rhythm — protecting her from getting wet.

But the thunderstorm won't break 'till the morning. So she tries to preoccupy by dancing through the night. It won't deflect her from the pouring of her eyes (ignited by the lightning strike).

Get yourself home. And mend those salt stained clothes. Don't let them mold while you melt and moan.
Accept and progress. What "should be" is never "what is" and what "should be" just makes you second guess.

But the thunderstorm never lasts forever. Prance under your parachute and wait out the weather. Trust that it will always get better; it just takes some time alone with your mind.

The sand slips through the hourglass's grasp — it's fine. Fine sand. Each grain ingrained with grand schemes that don't mean a thing in the history of the future.

Lightning flashes in the blink of an eye. Now it's over.
