Silent Noise

A constant buzz inside my brain.
About to drive me right insane.
The absence of an answer to clarify a thought.
A surrender to a war of words that I never fought.

The hi fi's at full volume without a single song.
The sound is there in empty air, but you can't sing along.
Philosophical ennui has now been bought and sold.
A fuzzy picture of a story that just can't be told.

An existance of existance that's never really clear.
A journey down an avenue without a way to steer.
A frozen animation that never comes to life.
Like the emptiness inside a man who never took a wife.

Only message that you get inside this void you hear.
Is that theres something you can't see and yet it feels so near.
The code is undeciferable and the puzzle can't be solved.
It feels just like your brain cells have slowly been dissolved.
