are you my friend
this noise within my head
or are you the torture
within my soul
the bat that screams
at daemons inside their cage
locked within my skull
as trapped as spirits
within their hell
are you my friend
this noise that batters me
my senses shredded
by soundly beaten drum
shrill pipe
klaxon
and screeching string
are you my friend
this noise within my head
or are you the torture
within my soul
