Hermit Heretic Lyrics

Hermit heretic, reluctant hero

Forever haunted by all my potential

Voice in my head whispers

Maybe I'm the one

Who's less than available when

Push comes to shove

I wanna melt into the tapestry of New York City

Into the velvet night flow of strangers moving quickly

Golden threads would be my only giveaway

I'd move unseen and unfelt, I'd do it my way but I've got

People who love me and that's something, right

A worthy achievement and a good use of time

So why do I sometimes wanna leave it all behind

Is it subconscious sabotage or the troubling truth of my life

Hermit heretic, reluctant hero

Forever haunted by all my potential

Voice in my head whispers

Maybe I'm the one

Who's less than available when

Push comes to shove

I made myself so accessible now, everyone thinks they know me

I don't miss all the times I was oh so lonely

But sometimes I think I catch glimpses of the old me

In crumbling roses and lines of tortured poetry

I wanna be anonymous, I crave invisibility

Trapped by my assimilation and all my likability

This must be why they shave their heads and smash the lens

You realize you're playing a role and maybe it's all pretend

Hermit heretic, reluctant hero

Forever haunted by all my potential

Voice in my head whispers

Maybe I'm the one

Who's less than available when

Push comes to shove

Hermit heretic, reluctant hero

Forever haunted by all my potential

Voice in my head whispers

Maybe I'm the one

Who's less than available when

Push comes to shove

Push comes to shove

Oh, when push comes to shove
