The Recluse Lyrics

Oh yeah they call me the recluse
cos i dont go outside for nothing
no one, is gonna make me leave this room
oh no they cant tell me nothing, no way
now see im being a fool
yeah so i dont care about being cool
whats it to you
if i just stay here in this hole that i've bought into

yeah they call me the recluse
cos i dont go outside for nothing
no one is gonna make me leave this room
oh no they cant tell me nothing, no way
see i aint thinking clear
yeah you see im feeling sorry for myself
the words are used to produce fear
how would you really know what is good for my health
why dont you leave me alone
cos i aint hurting no body why you up in my face
get up out my soul
you cant you let me get through my time this way

oh yeah they call me the recluse
cos i dont go outside for nothing
no one, is gonna make me leave this room
oh no they cant tell me nothing
no way, no way, heyy
cant tell me nothing
they cant tell me nothing
they cant tell me nothing

sitting here by myself looking round at myself thinking i dont want to go out there
i dont need no help looking after myself if i got everything i need right here
i aint trying to impress anyone in this cesspit jail i just dont care
i aint gotta smell fresh for no woman so im blessed not washing my skin or my hair
they can call me the recluse they aint gonna remove or cut me lose from this place im locked in hide in
like a locker wont move cos you know i've gotten used to this space that im occupying
there really aint anything out there that they enjoy more than seeing me crying
so i do it in my room where none of these goons can see me though i know they've been trying
i aint cut out for this shit
im a coward i admit
i aint never been no big ting
the thought of killing makes me sick
but i dont want to be no victim
no way not strickland
so i just stay in my cell like im bricked in
and hope that it stops me from getting kicked in
even if it earns me this nickname in prison

oh yeah they call me the recluse
cos i dont go outside for nothing
no one is gonna make me leave this room
oh no they cant tell me nothing

oh yeah they call me the recluse
cos i dont go outside for nothing
no one is gonna make me leave this room
oh no they cant tell me nothing
