Tinnitus
You know that ringing in your ears?
You've been gone so long,
That "Eeeeeee?"
and the ache's grown so numb,
That's the sound of the ear cells dying,
that I can finally stand to listen to these songs again,
like their Swan Song.
but they sound different than I remember.
Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again.
As if there's something
Enjoy it while it lasts.*
that I'm missing.
The part in italics is taken from the movie *Children of Men*.
