Verse 1

Warm in the hammam, the air thick as cream

Light through the star holes falls down in a beam

(take your time)

Pull out the pins and the buns come undone

First pour from the copper bowl knows where to run

(oh, it knows)

Down the back of my neck to the dip of my spine

Every inch of me loosening, one at a time

Rose in the water, black soap in my palm

(old hammam way)

Scrubbed with the kese till my breathing gets calm

Hook

Let it run, let it run, let it run

(all of it)

Every yesterday down the drain, and it's done

(down, down)

Steam in my lungs and the heat on my face

(breathe it in)

Nothing that came before me gets in this place

(not tonight)

Verse 2

Smoke in my hair from a night I regret

Rinse it out twice and the water forget

(it forgets)

All the words that I swallowed come up with the steam

Let 'em bead on the tiles and fall in a stream

Hot on my knuckles where I held it too tight

(let go)

Open my palms and I give up the fight

Eyes closed, head back, and the pressure is low

Every knot in my body deciding to go

(mm-hm)

Hook

Let it run, let it run, let it run

(all of it)

Every yesterday down the drain, and it's done

(down, down)

Steam in my lungs and the heat on my face

(breathe it in)

Nothing that came before me gets in this place

(not tonight)

Bridge

They say the steam takes away the evil eye

(ya leyl)

So I lie on the marble and let it pass by

All the stares that they threw at me slide off like rain

(they can't stay)

Slip past my ankles and into the drain

Solo

Hook

Now the water runs clear and I wipe the glass clean

(look at her)

And the face in the fog is a face I ain't seen

(brand new)

Turn the tap off slow, hear the last drip land

(drip, drip)

I leave the hammam with nothing in my

Drip, drip

Steam on the glass

Nothing in my hand
