Model Sheep

by The Ocean Party

on Nothing Grows (2019)

[Verse 1]
I tied my laces this morning, silence stops me dead
The last thing I hear before I came here
I guess that nothing is really wrong
It's just another whinge of a song
Cracks get wider as my body tires
Scared I'll fire if I don't move along

[Chorus 1]
Rip my skin off, bloodied, battered
Cracks chip scattered, these pains I've gathered
If I don't walk away, I'll go insane
Don't be afraid
Broken young before life had begun
A model sheep for the world to reap
I've lost control, I cannot steer
I, I live in fear

[Verse 2]
I dug a hole today, three foot deep
Bringing pain that may never pass with sleep
I know I'm right, I feel I'm right
But I'll keep my mouth shut
I've got no interest in taking flight

[Chorus 1]
Rip my skin off, bloodied, battered
Cracks chip scattered, these pains I've gathered
If I don't walk away, I'll go insane
Don't be afraid
Broken young before life had begun
A model sheep for the world to reap
I've lost control, I cannot steer
I, I live in fear

[Chorus 2]
Rip my skin off, bloodied, battered
Cracks chip scattered, these pains I've gathered
If I don't walk away, I'll go insane
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
Broken young before life had begun
A model sheep for the world to reap
I've lost control, I cannot steer
I live in fear, I live in fear
Rip my skin off, bloodied, battered
Cracks chip scattered, these pains I've gathered
If I don't walk away, I'll go insane
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
Broken young before life had begun
A model sheep for the world to reap
I've lost control, I cannot steer
I live in fear, I live in fear
Rip my skin off, bloodied, battered
Cracks chip scattered, these pains I've gathered
If I don't walk away, I'll go insane
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
