J. Robert Spencer - Wish I Were Here Lyrics

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 brightest 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

I have lived a life of clouds and gray but this is crystal clear
Wish I were here
I imagine it's remarkable, exuberant, austere
Wish I were here, wish I were here

It's euphoria, it's anger
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 a bullet from a magic gun
And I'm trying to enjoy it
But I'm missing all the fun

Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling the hope, the heat, the fear
Wish I were here
Is this someone else's head trick? Do I just disappear?
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 trips 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
Have I blown my mind forever? Is cloudy my new clear?
Wish I were here, wish I were here, wish I were

Can I hide my stupid hunger? Fake some confidence and cheer
Wish I were here, wish I were here
