The sound of one's own thoughts,
Taunting, laughing, criticizing
There's no escaping it

Tightly bound by an object used for comfort
Accessorized with a small silver harness
Unable to attain any freedom

Surrounded by endless clouds
And eternal loneliness
Eventually leads one to the brink of insanity
