Black Sheep

Don’t look now, we’re branded, we’re the black sheep
Sewn apart and Siamese — the black sheep
When the water seems too deep
The shadows always wait beneath
But laughing loud we brave the role of black sheep
If you see me you’ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy with the black sheep now
Don’t look now, we’re stranded here as black sheep
Swallowed whole and out of reach — the black sheep
Unsafe enough for now
We’re shepherded from higher ground
But drowned all out we save the role of black sheep
If you see me you’ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy with the black sheep now
