Where the Water Hides the Sound

Where the Water Hides the Sound

Steam covers the mirror, I won’t look myself in the eye
Water scalds my skin, covering the sound of my cry
Fist against the tile, jaw locked hard through the ache
The tears run with the rush, hidden by every mistake.
Where the water hides the sound, No one hears me break
Let the salt run to the ground
Wash it all away— Where the water hides the sound.

Knees hit the floor, grief slips down the drain
Shampoo running low, but I can’t scrub off the stain
I count the cracks in the wall, let the world disappear
All that’s left is the cold, sharp fear.
Where the water hides the sound, No one hears me break
Let the salt run to the ground
Wash it all away— Where the water hides the sound.

Every night I hope the water will burn it out
But the morning always finds me full of doubt.
Where the water hides the sound, No one hears me break
Let the salt run to the ground
Wash it all away— Where the water hides the sound.
