Great Wretched Hall

I can't speak beyond this cavern in my head
That's spewing out monsters that wish me dead
I am feeding the errors so they'll make me a wall
To grow over my memories like a great wretched hall
There's a battalion of hellions stampeding along
Marching through my thoughts in the throng
Shouting obscenities into the empty and echoing
Somebody drown them out I cannot think a thing


Silence them all
Shut them down
Build the wall higher all around
Drown them out
End their sound
Standing in this great wretched hall


I am wrong and I am bruised
My mind has become confused
Let's all say I have been abused
By all these monsters I've loosed


I can shout inside this cavern in my head
All these shadows are filling me with dread
I am watching all my errors construct my wall
Growing over all my memories like a great wretched hall
I hear the battalion of hellions marching along
Cascading their emotions on and on and on
Shouting obscenities into the empty and echoing
Somebody drown them out I cannot think a thing


Silence them all
Shut them down
Build the wall higher all around
Drown them out
End their sound
Standing in this great wretched hall


I am wrong and I am bruised
My mind has become confused
Let's all say I have been abused
By all these monsters I've loosed


Echoing and thunderous
Inside this gaping hole so cavernous
Wretched still and I am shutting down
Somebody come and drown out their sound
Stand a top all my errors piled on top this wall
And silence all the noise of this great wretched hall
Silence all the noise of this great wretched hall
Silence all the noise
Silence them all
