Within a few flashes
What I've known for years comes crashing
Down to rubble and rocks
It's a punishing thought just to leave it all
Within a few seconds
I'm standing right on the edge
The vision starts to fade
The only certainty escaped
And I
Was shot with a shock that was slow and steady
And then the world stopped and I just wasn't ready
For this static state that suddenly came
Like the lightning right before heavy rain
Within a few flashes
What I've known for years comes crashing
But formed a new path
Leaving me feeling like I've got a chance
A moment to be seized right now
Life extending its hand out
Draped in all new colors
Uncertainty like no other
And I
Was shot with a shock that was slow and steady
And then the world stopped and I just wasn't ready
For this static state that suddenly came
Like the lightning right before heavy rain / I
Was shot with a shock that was slow and steady
And then the world changed and I just wasn't ready
For this brand new state that suddenly came
But you can't fight fate when you're face to face
Feeling caught in the whirlwind's fist
Leaves no time for anyone to plan through this
Got to be the light in the abyss
Just so you survive
So imagine while you look around
You've got to find a different route
You can't let these storms keep you down
If you want to thrive / 'Cause I
Was shot with a shock that was slow and steady
And then the world changed and I just wasn't ready
For this brand new state but now it's okay
'Cause you can't fight fate, you have to embrace
The shock that was slow and steady
'Cause it changed me
