Mount Eerie - Night Palace

I saw lightning last night
But heard nothing
The whole half of the sky flashed a couple times
But no rain
No sheet metal rolling

Living close to the ground
I talk back to birds way more than I used to
A spirit world found
Out past
Where belief blows away

I saw flashing
I saw plumes of smoke
I put the kid to bed
I wash dishes in the night

Nobody burns like me at the sink
Looking out on the world
This lightning inside
