Hikikomori
by Jack Van Cleaf
Verse 1
Little flower on my bedside, are you alright?
Never getting any light living inside
Bugs are crawling up the wall
We don't get any sleep at all
I haven't seen another face
Since we were back in Arkansas
And now you're on my bad side, I don't know why
Babe, you're lookin' bone dry, I must be a bad guy
And both of us are getting sick, take another sugar pill
You realize you can't live on cigarettes and Benadryl?
Chorus
We'll never see the light of day again
We'll nevеr see the light of day again
Verse 2
Little ray of sunshine, arе you alright?
I know it's been a long drive, but we'll be fine
It's good for us to get away
We might make our narrow escape
The walls were closing in so much
That I could taste the fucking paint
They got a word for our kind, or at least mine
"Hikikomori," they call it, I know it's boring, but darlin'
I've been bored all my life, and you came into mine
And now we'll never leave the bed
Baby, I'd rather be dead
Chorus
Can we play pretend?
We'll never see the light of day again
And if I'm gonna make you stay in bed
We'll never see the light of day again
Instrumental Break
Chorus
We'll never see the light of day again
We'll never see the light of day again
Outro
Little flower on my bedside
Are you alright
Living in the low light?
We should go outside
