Ravine Angel - The Hermit

I know
Exactly what I'm doing wrong
You really didn't have to go
Explain it to me like I'm dumb
I'm done
With the million gazing eyes
With the coverage on all sides
And everything is no fun

I tried to reason with you
But nothing ever came of that
No bother,
I don't miss you,
I'm lying on my back

The machines begin to whir into life
And every cog starts choking on its husband or wife
And the cameras start to operate to see the designs
Of the maintenance of those deemed productive lives
Well, don't be dense, baby it's easy to see
That the surveillance apparatus has it out for me
Outside my door I'm executed summarily
By a white van that's been parked across the street
The cops will capture me immediately
And try me for my shitty personality
All my friends watching from the stand will agree
That the verdict was harsh, but fair, albeit messy
I can never hurt no one again
And I'll never have to hear the sob story again
As long as I can lie here in my bed
As long as I can lie here in my bed

And when the earth around you caved in
Did you have a place to fall?
And when the sun ceased rising
Did you see the stars?

The visions dancing in your mind
Of wasted space and wasted time
In the end, you're never right
Sweet oblivion remains
Just out of touch and out of place
You'll be glad you took the space
The barriers between us fall
And when you step into the sun
You'll be part of everyone
In a pool of endless waste
The deepest fear you'll ever face
Soon we all will know your name

I know
