Your friend says she just woke up
it's seven o-clock I'm not impressed
she says it like she's holding up an award
like being hungover makes her something better than the rest of us

I been working all day can you tell her to shut up
nobody cares

I don't wanna follow you like a shadow
I don't wanna follow you like a shadow

feels like something heavy, dark and alien is pushing me for answers
got some papers in his pocket and a list of empty threats to rattle off
the doctor swore that creature wasn't there
but I seen him
I seen him
and it's too late
it's too late

I don't wanna follow you like a shadow
I don't wanna follow you like a shadow

security is eagle eyeing every tiny move I make
incase I lose a limb, start foaming at the face
two drinks in and everybody's lost their grace
forgive nobody for anything she says

I don't wanna follow you like a shadow
I don't wanna follow you like a shadow

seven says you gotta march on in and grab me
scruff of the neck like a cat to a kitten
though I feel more like a mouse
being dragged in, half dead
blood and mush
and left under a table
for somebody to find
later on and kick yuou for

I don't wanna follow you like a shadow
I don't wanna follow you like a shadow
I don't wanna follow you like a shadow
I don't wanna follow you
