Noose

In these asylum halls, I've had to avert my eyes
I never wanted to see what I've seen
The robes they make us wear are no disguise
The rooms are circular and padded for safety
I couldn't hurt myself here even if I could try
Trapped in white halls, gray minds shake me
Oh the pills they give me, they keep me calm
I told all of my secrets, all of my sins and lies
That circle's the worst torture, please free me
The stupid therapist thinks she is helping me
But all of this self revelation is destroying me
The time here is destroying me within
I should just use a noose, it works quickly
And then this world can just shed me
Like a set of old, worn battle used skin
