Too Nel Ost

I hear your screams
    outside the wall
Close my eyes
    to mute the call
Bind my hands
    to gag my voice
Can't you see?
    I'm here by choice

Your misery
    is killing me
When words of pain
    are all I see
A volume's worth
    of suffering
For each chapter
    spent recovering

A civil war
    inside the mind
Can truly drive one
    mad in time
So smash the bonds
    that tie your soul
And let true feeling
    gain control

With these emotions
    merge to one
Or gut them all
    as I have done
A mental case
    of genocide
A death as sure
    as suicide
