not so much the pain as the noise

[coreimmortality]

it's not so much the pain as the noise.
drilling, vibrating, crushing and digging holes
it's not so much the pain as the noise
buzzing in your ear like a thousand flies in a box
it's not so much the pain as the noise
continuous and steady but still enough there
it's not so much the pain as the noise
a noise behind you almost soothing now
it's not so much the pain as the noise
it's relaxing, massaging you
it's not so much the pain as the noise
cooing you to sleep, sleep so deep
it's not so much the pain as the noise
i can't hear it anymore.
