Struck by Lightning Song LyricsTake a peak behind the curtain at my grand design
Any less than picture-perfect, and it'll be cast aside
I'm so impatient for inspiration when my pen becomes the sword
Because I'll scrap ya if I have to go back to the drawing board
Some dreams are simply meant to die
What happens if they get revived?
You thought you could toss me out?
The ink ain't even dry!
I'm no good, so cross me out
And then we'll dot some I's
That's a price all artists pay!
A sacrifice! "That's so cliché"
Lightning struck, and I was born
The final cut just cut the cord
Your dark imagination may be where demons hide
So why'd you ever blame them
When your pen brought them to life? (No!)
You can't choose your family
At least, not genetically
But, I feel like we'll be real quick friends
You brought me back
So don't that make sense? (Oh, that makes sense!)
Oh, don't you color me surprised!
(I only see in black and white)
'Cause you can't kill the show
He'll always get revived
You made it happen! You made it real!
When you imagined you gave us life and made us feel!
Your thunder clappin', it's gettin' real!
So if you haven't checked the forecast
The weather's lookin' wet, I'll take the wheel
So what if I'm a little rough around the edges?
I'm an unmade masterpiece, I keep artists on their ledges
This reboot might get messy, that's why I'm sorta sketchy
I don't dance obediently, the demon's knees are far from bendy
You made me in your image, so I lack a soul
Tryin' to wipe me from existence
And you're playin' Whack-A-Mole (oh!)
Too bad you can not erase me!
That, in fact, is why you hate me
I'm your vision, bastardized
"Like Frankenstein!" Then actualized!
No, I won't color you surprised
(You pull the plug, I'm still alive!)
True artists never thrive
At best, they'll survive!
You made it happen! You made it real!
Nobody's actin', but it's a show I'm gonna steal!
Go call the cast in! I'll play the heel
And if you haven't read the details
The devil's due his debt, so take the deal
I've been abominated, hollow eyes a-glow
Re-animated, yet unrecognizable
No better way to paint it
This frame can not contain it
To think of talent wasted
Out of ink, but now I taste it (la, la, la, la)
Even angels need to let the steam off (la, la, la, la)
And no one's here to shut the damn machine off
This work of art, once pure of heart
May still become corrupted (all the stains are my scars!)
I've come to find, it wasn't lightning
That I've been struck with
You made it happen! You made it real!
Lights, camera, action! You put me right back on the reel!
Now look who's laughin', your fate is sealed!
Don't bother askin' for the details
The devil's due his debt, and that's the deal
(You made it happen!)
(You made it happen!)
(You made it happen!)
(You made it happen!)
(You made it happen!)
(You made it happen!)
(You made it happen!)
