Rain Over My Bones

Cold rain falling slow
Tracing wounds I never show
Every drop against my skin
Feels like all the pain I'm in

I've been walking empty streets
Counting every lost heartbeat
Trying not to fall apart
While the storm pulls at my heart

And I whisper to the sky
But no answer meets my cry

Let the rain fall over my bones
Wash the weight I've carried alone
Every tear the clouds release
Feels like pieces finding peace
Let the rain fall over my bones
Till it softens all the stones
I buried deep inside my chest
Rain over my bones–let me rest

Every memory I've outgrown
Still clings tight like brittle thorns
Every echo of my past
Reminds me storms don't fade too fast

But I keep moving through the gray
Hoping dawn will find its way
Even if the night is long
I hold on–to something strong

And I whisper to the sky
Maybe someday I'll know why

Let the rain fall over my bones
Wash the weight I've carried alone
Every tear the clouds release
Feels like pieces finding peace
Let the rain fall over my bones
Till it softens all the stones
I buried deep inside my chest
Rain over my bones–let me rest

If the rain can heal the land
Maybe it can heal my hands
If the storm can clear the air
Maybe I can breathe again somewhere

Let the rain fall over my bones
Wash the weight I've carried alone
Every drop that hits the ground
Is a piece of me unbound
Let the rain fall over my bones
Till the sorrow loses hold
And the storm becomes my friend
Rain over my bones–help me men
