Unclean hands
Anoint my eyes
And stain my mouth
My tongue suffers while my voice stutters
Confused by sounds it speaks

Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water

Threatened into silence by mother tongue
The silence so deafening, it bleeds and runs
Leaving nothing behind

Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
Broken water
