Beauty in the mess she wears
All of her pain was washed away
By stains around her lips and eyelids
Violence
Breathing in the very air that suffocated her youth
And clouded her mind
Like her father
Like her mother
She swallowed her strength
Inhaled herself to the image of another's face
Wonder why she is how they were
You wonder why she stains her skin
So rain our love down on her, yeah
And rain our love down on her, yeah
Said we all have something we know
Won't move us along
But we're still holding on
Rain our love down on her, yeah
Beauty was something he never saw
All of the pavement cracked away until the streets were given up on
Up on the roof
He sat and listen to sirens down inside the violence
While it made him cry
He decided to fight it
Like his mother
His father would no longer sleep
He came home burying his head in the cushions
To scream
So rain our love down on her, yeah
And rain our love down on her, yeah
Said we all have something we know
Won't move us along
But we're still holding on
Rain our love down on her, yeah
If I could get away from the sound
Of someone else's submission in seconds, I would
Grief has me pinned down
My heart is open to opening up my secrets
And yet I'm holding onto the words of someone else
That I know I won't keep around
So rain our love down on her, yeah
And rain our love down on her, yeah
Said we all have something we know
Won't move us along
But we're still holding on
Rain our love down on her, yeah
