Wish I Were Here

DIANA

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

NATALIE

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

DIANA

I have lived a life of clouds and grey, but this is crystal clear

Wish I were here

I imagine it's remarkable, exuberant, austere

Wish I were here

Wish I were here

Wish I were here

NATALIE

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

DIANA

I'm the light and heat of every sun

NATALIE

I'm a bullet from a magic gun

DIANA

I'm a bullet from a magic gun

NATALIE

And I'm trying to enjoy it

BOTH

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

And feel the burn when 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...

NATALIE

Can I hide my stupid hunger,

Fake some confidence and cheer?

Wish I were here

Wish I were here
