Headache Beat that drum and remind me of the pain, A pain that reverberates through time and space, Beat that drum in untimely fashion, Never can i predict the oncoming clash of wood on flesh, Beaten til it is purged of its zest, It invades. Movement ripples over each lobe, Pounding strikes the temples, Vision lost for a moment or two, The tempo speeds and intensity builds, Reaching around the sound barrier, Penetrating bone and steel, It tires. The drummer rests for a pregnant pause, Curtains still as time slows down, A basic rhythm echoes, Subsequently producing complex pain, Beat that drum for I have no strength to block the noise
