The California air
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
I went inside this place as a dare while I was attending Buffalo State College not too long ago. This place is magical. Very dark with shimmers of light poking threw in certain areas.
These places were built with the patient's well being thought of first and foremost... rural campuses, well ventilated buildings and wide open spaces were considered to be important factors in treating psychotic disorders.
Built before modern lighting and plumbing, many pipes and wires needed to be retrofitted into these old buildings, and rather than place drop ceilings in, they were left exposed (thank god - drop ceilings look terrible).
Very interesting picture, I wonder why they had such high cielings with exposed pipes. Im sure due to size, it was hard to heat such a place to start off with.
Current research has found that the color "pink" has a very calming affect on people who are upset. They use it in jails frequently today. Works like a charm apparently.

I love this one! My Husband is from Buffalo, and has all his family there. I think I saw this place (I am a huge old building lover) on one of our visits! In June of next year, I am going to take loads of pictures of this!
