Mommy. The Faucet is running.

I can't hold it in

The one holding the knob

Turned it again

Mommy. The Faucet is pouring

Rain down my face

Anger and hatred

Because of my race

Mommy. Help!

The Faucet is running

Red this time

I feel dizzy

But I feel this pain all the time

Mommy. The Faucet is oozing

Blood all over the sink

My secrets weren't able to keep

Mommy. I can't stand

My Faucet is leaking

Like my eyes

Because they can't see past my lies

Mommy. My Faucet is dripping

Coming to an end

I wish I still had my dear friend

Mommy. The Faucet is dry

The noose is hung

I'm saying goodbye

Mommy the faucet is rusted

Lay me down with their lies

Because this is the last time you'll see me in your life
