Wish I Were Here

In an instant, lightning flashes

And the burst might leave me blind

When the bolt of lightning crashes, and it burns right through my mind

It's like someone drained my brain out

Set my frozen mind to thaw

Let the lethargy and pain out

While I stood and watched in awe

I am riding on the brighest buzz

I am worlds away from who I was

And they told me it would change me

Though they don't know how it does

(Though they don't know how it does)

I have lived a life of clouds and grey

But this is crystal clear

Wish I were here

(Wish I were here)

I imagine it's remarkable

Exuberant, austere

Wish I were here

(Wish I were here)

Wish I were here

(Wish I were here)

It's euphoria, it's anger

It's the winter wind, it's fire

(It's the winter wind, it's fire)

And it kills my deepest hunger

As it fills me with desire

I'm the light and heat of every sun

(I'm the light and heat of every sun)

I'm a bullet from a magic (I'm a bullet from a magic gun)

And I'm trying to enjoy it

But I'm missing all the fun (I am missing all the fun)

Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling

The hope, the heat, the fear

Wish I were here

(Wish I were here)

Is this someone else's head trick

Do I just disappear

Wish I were here

(Wish I were here)

Wish I were here

(Wish I were... here)

Plug me in

♪

And turn me on

And flip the switch

I'm good as gone

It slits my skin

And tricks my brain

I feel the burn

But I don't feel the pain

Is my brain reborn or is it wrecked

In freedom or in fear

Wish I were here (wish I were)

Have I blown my mind forever

Is cloudy my new clear

Wish I were here

(Wish I)

Wish I were here

(Were here)

Wish I were

Can I hide my stupid hunger

♪

Fake some confidence and cheer

Wish I were here

Wish I were here
