The Head That Tried to Strangle Itself

My mind beats on

My mind beats on

My mind beats on

But no words come

To this perceiving head

This germ of all

All gnaw on

To be gone

The mad house of the shrieking skull

Am I more

Than just a noise

Just a noise

Than just a noise the brain makes?

Plagued by apperception

Cacophony infesting

This cold dark lifeless space

The non-stop riffs of the waking mind

There is nothing in the mind

Except the mind itself

Profounds of mind buried in who knows what of mindlessness

But who can I talk to if I can't talk to you?

But I shall never be silent

A consciousness watching itself

You plague me every single day

Heinous

Tenebrous
