Drowning In My Ears

A pot of coffee fell off my head

Broke my toe and burned me red

Went home and got some stitches

Came back and dug more ditches

The smell of rot filled my nose

Washed me off with a tire hose

Suddenly, I had to face my fears

While I was drowning in my ears

I can't hear a thing

At my eardrums I poke

All I hear is a noisy ring

While deaf and dumb I choke

In the shower with a bowl in my hand

I feel like I'm sinking in quicksand

While the water falls over my face

I need to get out of this place

How can you see

With soap in your tears?

How can you breathe

With water in your ears?
