[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf

[Verse 2]
As a post 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 is turning red

[Refrain]
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf

[Chorus]
I’m inside my head, rolling ‘round my skull
Like a flesh-coloured marble, round we go

[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf

[Chorus]
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
