Hikikomori - Ilsa

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
