Shadow Lyrics by Big Data

0

[Verse 1: Lyrics Born]

At first, I was flattered by the attention, but now I feel
Flattened by the attention. I never should have let it
Happen to begin with, but she did an excellent job
Of masking her intentions. We began such a passionate adventure
Now I feel strangled, like I'm strapped to her engine
Headed over an embankment, into the chasm I'm spinning
Body free-falling, blindfolded, flapping in the wind
Downwardly spiraling, violently crashing into the river
I feel so paranoid, terrorized, there's a pair of eyes
On me, everywhere I hide, I'm barely alive
And every time I try to tear away, she magically arrives
Teary-eyed, and instills a fear of God in me, paralyzed
I'm being followed by a triceratops
And it's scary how we're always side by side, parallel lines
Leaving's just an exercise in futility
Cause here I lie back at square one, girl you're killing me

[Hook: White Hinterland]

Ooh, you are my shadow. A silhouette just drawn on me
You are, you are with me, until I'm through all my tears

[Verse 2: Lyrics Born]

I never should have let her indulge me. That little voice
Told me, "Homie, you don't need to get involved." Instead, I
Let her envelop me wholly. Her bedroom voice
Told me, "LB, you're the only one I want," and now she
Owns me totally. Look at how she answered my
Whole beat, slowly. Concealing her intentions and
Motive. She saw the holes in my ego and she filled every
Opening. So easy. Now I'm in her throes and I feel her
Jaws closing. Foaming, groaning, lonely
Hungry and exhausted but I'm gnawing at the
Rope that she's holding. Jonesing for her coaxing and
Condoning, her consoling, like a dope fiend needs codine
Even when it's totally quiet I hear her calling
Even when there's nobody by me I see her nodding
Prodding, motioning for me to come forward
I resist but it's hopeless, and I oblige always

[Hook]
