Thunder in the distance
Let the rain come
Winds of criminals
Let the storms come

To rain on my skin, wash this residue
The blood and the mildew 
Clean my insecurities I've kept to
Let the storms come wash me new
Cleanse me from the darkness I knew
Wash me away
To a brand new day

Lightning strikes the ground
My heartbeat imitating its sound
Take me away I say
But leave the light around 

Let the storms come

To rain on my skin, wash this residue
The blood and the mildew 
Clean my insecurities I've kept to
Let the storms come wash me new
Cleanse me from the darkness I knew
Wash me away
To a brand new day

I feared the rainbows 
Because they were beautiful
And out of reach
I feared the way my heart broke
Every time I wasn't suitable

I craved the winds
To come change my mind
I craved everything beautiful
Fearing it would leave me behind 

But if the storms come
Then let the storms come
Wash me clean 
Let the rain wash me clean

To rain on my skin, wash this residue
The blood and the mildew 
Clean my insecurities I've kept to
Let the storms come wash me new
Cleanse me from the darkness I knew
Wash me away
To a brand new day

I crave the winds
Maybe they'll change my mind
I crave everything beautiful 
Even if it leaves me behind

So let the storms come
Let it rain on my skin
So what if I'm left alone
I'll find the beauty within
