Like a hermit-unfounded
Solitary but proud
I was hiding-behind fences
Shutting myself out

Crossed my arm-disarmed
Loss of self-defence
Wouldnt 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
Theres no need to tell
Wouldnt share with you the secret
That could break the shell

Shellshocked-no escape from dreaming
Shellshocked-theres no escape from dreaming
