Hikikomori

Please find reprieve in the silence between breaths Cause it's the only calm we seem to find outside of death These words like poison, can't seem to hold my tongue I choke them down till, they flood my lungs It burns like rotgut Cover your ears Or sew my lips shut Sew them shut Seal my fate, I'm a waste I always fail to reciprocate "I'm only living by habit" And life just won't have it My greatest fear is you feeling distressed by my presence Would you feel happier the more we put ourselves at distance? We stray from each other in our greatest times of need We trace the paths, we've already passed Just to see if we still bleed Won't you Please just shed my skin Let's not let this end Please just shed my skin Shed my skin ひきこもり A victim of complacency I'm no longer the safe haven you once found refuge in So please kill the ghost, who's made its home In your lover's skin I hate myself, for the man I've become Tie my noose, drain my veins Erase my spirit please I hate myself, for the man I've become (so numb) Tie my noose, drain my veins Save yourself from me
