Wash it away

Intro

The sky goes black, I'm standing still

Clouds roll in aligned with my will

I need the storm to break this seal

To drown what's buried, what I feel

Verse

Lightning cracks at my feet while

The thunder whispers my defeat

I'm waiting on the rain to fall

To hide my tears (and my fears)

And wash it away

The weight of silence, crushing down

No one hears me in this town

I'm praying for the sky to break

To cleanse the mess that I have made

And wash it away

Pre-Chorus

Let it pour, let it drown

Every lie, every sound

Let the heavens open wide

Flood the shame I try to hide

Chorus

waiting on the rain to fall

to hide my tears (and all my fears)

and wash it away

waiting for the storm to call

to pull me under, disappear

and wash it away

Verse

Lightning cracks across my mind

Memories that I left behind

I'm begging for the rain to fall

To hide my tears (and all my fears)

And wash it away

The first drop hits my open palm

A moment's peace, a fleeting calm

But I need more than just a taste

I need the deluge, the full embrace

To wash it away

Interlude

Bridge

If I could stand here long enough

If I could let the water rush

Through every scar, through every wound

Maybe I'd be born renewed

Build

But the sky just teases me

With distant possibilities

So I wait... I wait... and, I WAIT

Chorus

waiting on the rain to fall

to hide my tears (and all my fears)

and wash it away

waiting for the storm to call

to pull me under, disappear

and wash it away

wash it away

wash it away

wash it all away

Outro

The drops fall upon my face

I close my eyes, I find my place

In the rain... in the rain...

Let it wash it all away
