The Shepherd

from Premonitions by I Divorced Life

/

lyrics

There is a reason why I named you ”savior”
I barely made it out alive, skin of my teeth
You stood there bathed in light, an angel with a
cup of coffee, oh, you fucked me back to life, I’ll take it

Wasting my time with you makes me want to feel sick
Can’t we just go back to when you were cute
and not a cold hearted, self-centered bitch?
Being in love is the same thing as losing your mind
When the storm broke, I realized
I was never close to making it out

A man who drowns in darkness is no longer hot
You blame me, turn down the heat

You lack humanity, you used to be my
One and all and my best friend, your hypocrisy stings now
No one is as smart or beautiful as you are, right?
People are just dumb sheep, you’re the shepherd leading us on

You chose to do the very worst thing you could have done to me
Why don’t you just grow a pair of balls,
can’t you see who you fucking look like?
That imbecile you always loved to berate and whine about
It must be in your genes, the promiscuity can’t be your fault
I guess nine years isn’t all that long, it’s okay to fuck me over
The apple didn’t fall very far, say, can it get any colder?
If diamonds and perfume is not enough I really don’t know
If love and trust is not enough

If only we would heed your words, don’t you know it all?
If only we could be like you, don’t you know it all?
If only we could be as smart and beautiful as you?
If only we could hit the notes, don’t you hit ‘em all?

Please heal us, please do your magic, please show us what it is you do
Please save me, please work your magic, please tell me how much longer?
