Paper Shepherd Testo

Here is your blueprint
now find a location
somewhere beyond the lights of town
laying foundation
for permanent fencing
without ever breaking ground

gathering livestock
building an army
teach all of them to be content
nourish their daughters
to control their fathers
they won't even try to break the fence

all of this and you're asking him to pick a side
draw a line in the dirt, close his eyes and decide
rather live in rome
than take the time to know
what lies within his reach
but he'll never get to see

and i'm so scared
this time
it feels like truth
when someone's been lying about
the news to me
has never been so real
when i can't think
and i can't feel anything

and you're asking me to pick a side
to draw a line in the dirt, close my eyes and decide
rather live in rome
than take the time to know
what lies within his reach
but he'll never get to see

shepherd don't you see
you can leave your herd at ease
the sheep will never fly
no they won't even try
shepherd don't you see
you can leave your herd at ease
the sheep will never fly
no they won't even try
no

can anybody hear me?
well i'm screaming
well i'm screaming
can anybody hear me at all?
well i'm screaming
well i'm screaming
yeah
