The Hermit Lyrics by Peregrine (Band)

As One Would Exist within the Crescendo

2019

[Verse 1]
Time-tied, you come and go
Slave to patterns set
By your father's father's father before your birth
To change your path
Is a weight you'll shift to other shoulders
Time-tied, you come and go-oh-oh-oh-oh
You come and go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
[And all I miss?]
Midnights on your summer porch
Telling lies, your self-absorbed contour
Not clearer skies or the dead of night
When the world stops spinning for
Just a moment because I'd ask
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dread the moment of contention
Up until our death
[Chorus]
Face me, start running from
That passionless placе, all your life I watched
You're waiting on a free ridе
Sick and tired of working for it, you just want a
[Bridge]
Silver tongue
Silver
Silver tongue
Silver
[Verse 3]
And I'll admit
The story's taken quite a turn
Somehow slipped from karma's clever hands
Yeah, you're too slick
To stick to the web you spun
Built a nest from pieces
Of the lives you ruined just for fun
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dread the moment of contention
I will say again
[Chorus]
Face me, start running from
That passionless place, all your life
And you're waitin' on a free ride
Sick and tired of working for it, you just want a
Face me, start running from
That passionless place, all your life I watched
(Now you're waitin' on a free ride)
(Sick and tired of working for it, you just want a)
[Outro]
Silver tongue
Silver
Silver tongue
Silver tongue!
