Round We Go

Marika Hackman

Oh my god, what have I done?
Left my hands above the flames
Heal my skin, with a bite of ointment
Tastes like hell but I'm in pain

Don't speak softly, I'm deaf

As opposed and I like it, the silence
I'll just smile and nod my head
How it burns! I can't focus on you
See my skin? It's turning red

Don't speak softly, I'm deaf

I'm inside my head, rolling 'round my skull
Like a flesh-coloured marble, round we go

Hold my tongue with a finger, no thumb
Pressing down into my neck
How it hurts! I can't exhale, next bale
Tell me I'm a nervous wreck

Don't speak softly, I'm deaf

I'm inside my head, rolling 'round my skull
Like a flesh-coloured marble, round we go
Inside my head, rolling 'round my skull
Like a flesh-coloured marble, round we go
