I am almost a hermit Chewed up and spit out like some perceived vermin I almost had love but I just went on and burned it Had I not decided to block it out, I could have earned it. I am almost an alcoholic Drinking throughout the day hoping to stall it It helps to fit in with the jackals But it hurts to be dishonest I am almost out of the hole Talking to people about sane things Measurable things And quickly walking away before we reach the shallow I am almost sure that we might all be pretending I should have never gone the deep end Everyone's a little selfish Just try to grab a piece of your shadow Let yourself embellish How they crowd around you when You treat everyone inferior They've built statues of you I guess I'll reach for the shadow too and be a little selfish I'll grab on to that shellfish and we will be hermits.

I am almost a hermit Chewed up and spit out like some perceived vermin I almost had love but I just went on and burned it Had I not decided to block it out, I could have earned it. I am almost an alcoholic Drinking throughout the day hoping to stall it It helps to fit in with the jackals But it hurts to be dishonest I am almost out of the hole Talking to people about sane things Measurable things And quickly walking away before we reach the shallow I am almost sure that we might all be pretending I should have never gone the deep end Everyone's a little selfish Just try to grab a piece of your shadow Let yourself embellish How they crowd around you when You treat everyone inferior They've built statues of you I guess I'll reach for the shadow too and be a little selfish I'll grab on to that shellfish and we will be hermits.
