lyrics

the hermit lives a lonely life
she's stronger than you know, but she stays inside
searching for the words to write
til she finds

a Muse spread on a rock
she's beautiful but tough to touch
in any kind of meaningful way
but she tries

the hermit lives a quiet life
she's weak at the heart with no intent to go outside
a picture painted on the wall
depicts heaven

but she tries

our hermit woman lays in bed all night
no sleep feels fitting for her
performance as a waste-away
somebody called her on the phone and said
"your hole will be gone soon, you don't have any more money to pay us with"
she said "this is the part where my life goes to shit, and he's right, I've got no money"

I've got no words to type
and all my friends were right
this is not a life
I want a life

she left her home for the elevated loop station
an old lady turned for her attention
saying "no I don't want a bite of your finger"
the hermit says "that was never on the table"
the lady says she was a crusade singer
a dead ringer for the hermit who knew she was not able
the hermit scoffs to herself and says
"but she tries"
