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
