Hermit

I've been
Buffing my shine, building my armor
But what's underneath is hard to uncover
Layers and sheets and bodies of my own
I killed them all off to show that I have grown

I've been running it off, sweating and crying
No headphones, no water
Just breathing and fighting
Writing when I must unmask what I'm hiding

Hard shell lover
(A hermit)
Thick as the grains of sand, no wonder
(I hate it)
Nobody can break through all the thunder
(Is it best that we keep distance)
It'll rain, it'll pour, take cover -

Hard shell lover
(A hermit)
Thick as the waves but thin as the water
(I hate it)
It'll break when you mourn, take cover
(Maybe it's best that we keep distance)
Hard shell lover
Hard shell lover

I've been
Cheating the codes and learning the patterns
While digging in deep and learning what matters
Show up with presence when I'm with a stranger
Sometimes it's one moment they needed to stay here

Rather be fighting for a kindness
A oneness of all, but I do love my silence
If I have to choose, I'll be in the quiet

Hard shell lover
(A hermit)
Thick as the grains of sand, no wonder
(I hate it)
Nobody can break through all the thunder
(Is it best that we keep distance)
It'll rain, it'll pour, take cover -

Hard shell lover
(A hermit)
Thick as the waves but thin as the water
(I hate it)
It'll break when you mourn, take cover
(Maybe it's best that we keep distance)
Hard shell lover
Hard shell lover
