Lyrics Day 314 – ‘Black Sheep’

Hey everyone,

today’s lyrics explore some thoughts I’ve been having about my introverted nature, or perhaps that’s too simplistic a term. I guess the word ‘introverted’ may partly explain it, but whilst I do love people, and having friends, often I feel exhausted if I spend a lot of time with others, and frequently require my own space. I’m still trying to decide if it’s something I’d like to try and fix, but for now, here are my thoughts.

Stay safe ~

Sean

Black Sheep (Verse, Half Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus)

Wonder if these thoughts
Are inherent and innate
Running away from others
Quick to instigate

Stay away from the flock
Where there’s no pressure
To pretend to be interesting
Retire at my leisure

When I noticed her call
I was quick to delay
Suddenly felt tired
Unsure of what to say

Stay away from the flock
Where there’s no pressure
To pretend to be interesting
Retire at my leisure
I want to help others
Don’t want to socialise
At least, not often
Isolation my prize

Hearing her voice
She seemed so alive
‘I like your company’
I instantly thought ‘why’
And I know I was wrong
I feel it inside
But it’s just too painful
Sometimes even to try

Stay away from the flock
Where there’s no pressure
To pretend to be interesting
Retire at my leisure
I want to help others
Don’t want to socialise
At least, not often
Isolation my prize
