[Intro — barely sung] I cried for the rain... to stop my pain... It trickled my name in a way that numbed the pain. (rain...) (say my name...) [Verse 1] Nothing after ever sounded the same... Numbed to the pain, ignited by flame. I stood there burning with my face to the sky, asking the clouds for a reason to cry. Because I couldn't anymore. So I prayed for rain. [Pre-Chorus] Fall on me... fall through me... Find whatever's left and drown what I can't see. I don't need saving— I just need something to finally reach me. [Chorus] I'm praying for rain... Praying it remembers my name. Let it pour through the fire, let it flood every vein. I have burned so long even ashes feel the same... So I'm standing in the flame— praying for rain. [Verse 2] I cried for the thunder just to hear something louder than the silence underneath. Begged lightning to split me where the world couldn't see. But the storm never judged me. Never asked me to explain. It just touched my skin and whispered my name. And for one little moment... I could feel again. [Drop — stripped / fractured vocal] Rain... (rain...) Pain... (pain...) Flame... (flame...) Say my name... [Bridge — building] Maybe I wasn't asking for the fire to die. Maybe I was begging for the sky to finally cry. To prove something above me could break open too... That even heaven gets too heavy to hold onto. [Final Chorus — full release] So I'm praying for rain— LET IT FALL. Let it hammer my name against the walls. Let the whole damn sky break open today. If I'm going to burn, let me burn awake. Because nothing after ever sounded the same... Numbed by the hurt. Baptized by the flame. Still here. Still standing. Still calling my name— praying... for rain. [Outro — rain ambience, almost spoken] I cried for the rain to stop my pain... It couldn't stop it. But for a moment... I felt it wash over my name.
