Corpse Fortress

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

Stuck in the Land Of the blind And the one-eyed king Mobs amass Together to serve The will of another Willful ignorance Baleful boredom's Alchemical bliss We bestow Immunity To kill with Impunity Justice delayed Justice denied Systematic Suicide Man is a master Of deception Duplicitous Parsimonious Turnspit hound Ever-consummate Capitalist Ever-compassionate Christian So slow to forgive Yet quick to forget The sins of thine own Swearing paupers’ oaths Each night before Your trundle beds Blood, bud and crud Nothing gets done Without sacrifice Couldn't beat them Now it’s too late Too late join Stuck in the land Of the blind And the one-eyed king
