The Herd Verse 1 It’s strange when you can see it Once you see it, you can’t unsee The way one little current Turns into a sea One energy gets stagnant Then another settles in Something sour starts to spread And nobody knows where it begins Like rotten fruit in a bowl One starts breaking down Then the sickness finds another Till it’s everywhere around I can see where it starts I can see where it spreads I can feel the fucking current Before it reaches my head Chorus Fuck the herd Fuck the herd I was never built to follow When the herd goes left I’m already gone Running toward tomorrow If the energy turns toxic I’m not staying for the show I will change it if I can And if I can’t I’ll go Verse 2 I’ve always gone against it Every time they moved in line Something in me said “No, that’s not mine” You can call it Aquarius You can blame the Rooster too Maybe it’s just something That’s been living in me through and through I don’t need to know the reason I just know what I can feel When a room becomes dishonest I can feel it in the field And I’m not here to play along Just to keep everybody pleased If the whole damn herd is heading there I’m heading where it leads? No. I’m heading where it doesn’t. Chorus Fuck the herd Fuck the herd I was never built to follow When the herd goes left I’m already gone Running toward tomorrow If the energy turns toxic I’m not staying for the show I will change it if I can And if I can’t I’ll go Verse 3 My energy is movement My energy is change I don’t stay inside a pattern Just because it’s what they made I can walk into a place And something starts to shift Maybe I disturb the stagnant water Maybe that’s the gift I don’t come to punish anybody I don’t come to rule the room I just can’t live inside a frequency That makes everything decay and bloom? No That makes everything decay Bridge So you get to choose You want me here? Move the energy Make it clear Clean the water Change the air Make a place That we can share But if you choose the negativity Don’t expect me to remain I don’t need to fight the herd I just walk away Breakdown And when I leave I leave a wake A little ripple A little quake Maybe someone sees it Maybe someone doesn’t Maybe somebody finally asks “Why did she go?” And maybe that’s the point Final Chorus Fuck the herd Fuck the herd I was never built to follow When the herd goes left I’m already gone Running toward tomorrow I will point toward the poison When I see it in the flow I will change it if I can And if I can’t I’ll go Outro I don’t need the herd I don’t need the crowd I don’t need permission To stand out loud Change it Or leave it That’s all I know If the energy won’t evolve I go.
