about

Goal: to be a hermit in the world, among the crowd, carrying ones' hermitage within.

lyrics

Well the devils sneak in through a hole your head
and build themselves a cloister in which to pray
but devils are only devils if they're willing and able
otherwise, they're just worms who lost their way

So let the worms crawl in, let the worms crawl out
it's not your body anyway
pry open your hole, try to catch you a devil
make your head a home so they'll stay

Whoa, when the world wants to break you,
whoa, when your life all seems a lie
whoa, remember, god can't forsake you
whoa, if he doesn't know your alive

sometimes mice make it through the field to the barn
and sometimes, the owl comes out ahead
but it's always the worm that wants to rule the world
while the devil's happy staying home in bed

An empty room, a broken table
a fruitless crooked tree where no birds sing
tis better to be useless than to be wanted
only then can your devils take to wing..

No praise
No blame
Nothing but time....
