I felt stuck when I wrote this song like I was going nowhere like I had too much weight on my shoulders to fly. I wondered why, why me? What did it take to feel at one with myself to be able to drink up life? Why did I not feel at peace with myself? Why did I feel invisible? Why was my mind torturin...
[Verse 1]
I lay here sober as a judge
Thick as thieves, yeah, that was us
Now my mind keeps giving me up
Think it's time to get away
Pockets in my jeans got holes
'Cause my money, see, it don't grow
If it's a lesson, have I learnt at all?
Think it's time to get away
[Pre-Chorus]
Fire up the engine
I'm leaving home tonight
And cut away my sins
They're too heavy for the flight
[Chorus]
Let hell rain down on my life and allow me to grow
(Rain down on me)
Burn away the parts you don't like, I don't care anymore
I wanna feel untouchable
Spread my wings, fly away
Touch the sky and brеathe it in
So give me my halo
Comе on and give me my halo
[Verse 2]
So take me any, anywhere but here
Streets are crowded and they love my tears
I played the room my song
Nobody got up, everybody turned off
[Pre-Chorus]
How do I
How do I turn water into gold?
When will I feel comfortable
Being on my own?
[Chorus]
Let hell rain down on my life and allow me to grow
(Rain down on me)
Burn away the parts you don't like, I don't care anymore
I wanna feel untouchable
Spread my wings, fly away
Touch the sky and breathe it in
So give me my halo
Come on and give me my halo
[Bridge]
When the tide, the tide comes crashing in
And I've got nothing left to give
Will you deem me fit to swim
And will you water me?
'Cause I've, 'cause I've been here before
And it don't get any easier
Tell me, will you help me swim
And will you water me?
Ah, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Let hell rain down on my life and allow me to grow
(Rain down on me)
Burn away the parts you don't like, I don't care anymore
I wanna feel untouchable
Spread my wings, fly away
Touch the sky and breathe it in
So give me my halo
Come on and give me my halo

This song feels a bit different from what we normally do. We wrote it on piano and it’s very beautiful. It’s about acceptance and feeling comfortable within yourself and sometimes the journey to that isn’t always pleasant but it’s essential.
