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

shepherd don't you see

you can leave your herd at ease

the sheep will never fly

no they won't even try

well i'm screaming

well i'm screaming

well i'm screaming

well i'm screaming
