Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night
Scenes from home in the Quiet Room
How long have I been gone
Did winter kill the lawn
And all those polaroids you sent
Are on the wall in the Quiet Room
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I can't get my wrists to bleed
Just don't know why
Suicide appeals to me
The Quiet Room
Is sterilized and white
It's like a tomb
With just a moth stained naked night
Plastic forks and spoon
No laces in my shoes
They allknow what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room
This quiet place
It ain't so new to me
It's haunted atmosphere
Has heard so many scream
My home from home
My twilight zone
My strangest dream
My confidant
I have confessed my life
The Quiet Room
Knows more about me than my wife
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I just can't
I just can't get these damn wrists to bleed
A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone
Motts: great pic! I love how the edges of the walls are starting to crumble on both sides...
oooooooh.

Honey, BS isn't profanity. I can give you some very clear examples of profanity if you'd like, just to clarify it for you. Or perhaps just watch the South Park movie.
Personally I think his haircut is far more offensive than his language.
(only kidding, please don't ban me)
OT RANT! DON'T READ! (you were warned)
As for 'upsetting the Christians here', the more that can be upset the better. As a Christian myself I feel a good number of 'us' need a good thrashing with a metre long cluestick. The 'conservative religious right' needs a good swift kick is the nether-regions. Sometimes I feel so very ashamed of my affiliation and what is said and done in it's name.
I'm an infidel myself, so I dont care what religion others are, until they try to make others change to fit their lifestyle.
Anyway, we're getting a little off topic and I don't wanna get growled at so I'm gonna make some remark about the picture and then scamper off....
Interesting that above the door has square glass windows. Did they figure no one would be able to climb up that far, or was the back of the door flat? Im sure if I really found some motivation to, I could climb up and smash that glass.
Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again
The lighitng makes it spooky.
Motts: Epic picture as well. almost makes me want to cry thinking abot all the tortured lives that once lived there.
