Like a hermit-unfounded
Solitary but proud
I was hiding-behind fences
Shutting myself out
Crossed my arm-disarmed
Loss of self-defence
Wouldn’t fight off-haunting memories
Crimes without a sense
Closed my eyes-blind folded
Images of hell
Caught inside a vicious circle
Retired in my shell
Shut my mouth-lips sealed
There’s no need to tell
Wouldn’t share with you the secret
That could break the shell
Shellshocked-no escape from dreaming
Shellshocked-there’s no escape from dreaming
