'Lousy Shepherd' - for RDDC (working title)

I haven’t seen a sheep for days

My mind is limping as I cross the barricades

And I’m thinking and I’m thinking if this way is best for me

And I’m wondering if these visions are the images you see

I’ve got stock photos on the brain

Anonymous folk without context or a name

And I’m wondering and I’m wondering if they actually exist

How they got into those pictures and what they’d feel like to kiss

Everyday I see myself falling

Everyday I catch myself stalling

And it’s always it’s always the same

Now my eyes don’t want to work

Focusing on idiosyncratic quirks

And I’m thinking and I’m thinking that this will all disappear

And it seems to me the Internet is whispering in my ear

The lines are blurring fast

Instead of tapestry it’s a zebra skin graft

And I’m wishing and I’m wishing that I wasn’t in this head

And instead of typography I was cocooned in bed

Everyday I see myself falling

Everyday I catch myself stalling

And it’s always it’s always the same

l feel like a different beast

Like part of this morning's got stuck between my teeth

And I’m wondering, and i’m wondering if today’s the day I’ll crack

The day that I get pushed too far and go on the attack

Every glance is like a pinch

Every word makes my skin crawl another inch

And I’m climbing and I’m climbing up the surface of the Shard

Stock photo model underarm, fleeing from the Guard

Everyday I see myself falling

Everyday I catch myself stalling

And it’s always it’s always the same
