COHEED AND CAMBRIA
"The Lost Shepherd (Demo)"

Heaven save me a place at the window
I'm on my march to the ending of me
I've buried a cold within this heart
I lost the cure that plagued the start
Oh, my lover, I ache
(I can't stand myself)

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've done all of these things for you
Stained my soul to bleed with you
(Help us, help us survive)
(Help us, help us)

[Chorus:]
Now wallow in sick and disease
To measure out a man I know I can't be
Go learn your turn and swallow
A shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they graze
Goodbye

Here's my blood, 'cause you will accept no other
I've hollowed this heart to hide you within
(I can't stand my...)

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm so sick of these things I do
Worse off, worse off, I blame you
(Help us, help us survive)
(Help us, help us)

[Chorus:]
Now wallow in sick and disease
To measure out a man I know I can't be
Go learn your turn and swallow
A shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they graze
Goodbye

[Bridge:]
You did all you could
But there's nothing left, no, no more after all
Shame you, you know
That the secrets kept would one day kill us all

[Chorus:]
I've wallowed through sick and disease
To measure out a man I know I can't be
Go learn your turn and swallow
A shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they graze
Goodbye
(Help us, help us, help us...)

Now wallow in sick and disease
To measure out a man I know I can't be
Go learn your turn and swallow
A shepherd if they follow
Please greet them as they graze
Goodbye
