Cold Hard Rain

[Verse 1]
Cold rain and gray skies, short numbing days
That slowly dissolve into lines on your face
Losing your way if your feet hit the ground
Small hopes that vanish when you turn around

A weight in the low light muffles all sound
There's a crack in the world where the colors drain out
Endless doubt spins a web that you can't pull apart
And your thoughts take the shape of the hole in your heart

[Chorus]
And the cold hard rain just keeps on coming down (cold hard rain)
Nothing to hold on to (cold hard rain)
No point in going on (cold hard rain)

[Verse 2]
Locked in your heartbeat, heavy and strained
Stealing your seconds and wasting your days
Longing for something you're not sure can be
Waiting for something to force you to feel

Hour by hour, the rain coming down
You sit frozen in time while the world rushes on
Breathing in, breathing out, as you wait for a change
In that torrent of nothing, no tenderness remains

[Chorus]
Only cold hard rain that keeps on coming down (cold hard rain)
Nothing to hold on to (cold hard rain)
No point in going on (cold hard rain)

[Bridge]
But there's hope in the dark, and you're not all alone
You've been sinking for years, now I'm breaking you out
I have patience and strength enough to wear down the stone
And a blazing, ruthless love, I won't leave you to drown!

[Outro]
Cold hard rain
So now I call you by your name (cold hard rain)
Speak the words that burn in you (cold hard rain)
Let the pain go in my hands (cold hard rain)
Let my warm blood comfort you, oh, oh
I'll burn in you (I'll burn in you)
I'll burn in you (I will burn in you)
I'll burn in you
Let it rain

Let it loose
I'll be with you
