A song about shutting yourself inside your room for two years as a result of depression and paranoia, and the helplessness you feel while stuck inside. This was written a year pre-pandemic I swear.

lyrics

Clothes rot upon the floor
The walls are wet and cold
My body's still and aching
The bathroom's full of mold

My brain is like an anchor
In Mariana's Trench
I want to pull it up and leave
But I cannot reach the winch

I am alive
But only by design
The time that I gave
Will push me to my grave
These sheets are so warm
And the outside is so cold
I wish to be more brave
But until then I'll stay in my...

Cracks form inside the bones
My legs are weak and vile
The laundry's in the corner
A grand, depressing pile

My home is like a coffin
My room is like a corpse
Dirt is pouring onto me
And my flimsy casket warps

I will survive
But only in my shrine
This home where I live
Is all I have to give
These lights are so bright
And the outside is so dark
I wish to be more brave
But until then I'll stay in my cave
My cave
