Hikikomori

Spend my life
In low lit rooms
Nursing sour beer

Lean on wet travertine
Take another sip
I’ll tell you the gist

I’m a hermit in the city
Heavy Metal Hikikomori
Soaked in sludge
Hair down to my knees

Can’t remember
What was I thinking
A past that’s mystery
Lost in works routine

Crushed pride
Depersonalized
Egodystonic misery

Not somebody
A body
Ripped seams
Stiches sagging

Ill lay it on you
Loose my tongue
To noose my neck

Nothing gets easier
Than giving up
The beat goes on
Harder through the years

So always watch
When others look away
Scrutinize each hand
Cause they’re all dealt
From the bottom of the deck

You can’t win any way
Should you refuse to play

You lose
Eliminated

I’m a hermit in the city
Heavy Metal Hikikomori
