lyrics

Hikikomori
you see what I see
the world is full of teeth
that bare for human meat
Hikikomori
you hear what i hear
the venom dripping from
forked tongues to eager ears
Hikikomori
you taste what i taste
the blood inside our bodies
the depth of human waste
Hikikomori
you know what i know
inside the hearts of man
there is no gentle soul

So this is what we know
and this is why we dig up and hide in our hole
so this is our belief
but can we really be sure we've glimpsed at the beast
our lives are brief
and full of such meaningless grief
the sun burns on and away

Hikikomori
what can we see?
gouging our eyes with fear
we are already beat
Hikikomori
what can we hear?
muffling our senses from the
cold death that still draws near
Hikikomori
what can we be?
shackled in all our choices
will we ever be free?
Hikikomori
what can we know?
a wild world is churning
outside our locked front doors

but this is what we know...

Clear my senses
and strike my heart
of metaphors that fail to bring
the hope i had back to me
