White Hinterland - Shadow lyrics

[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 pa**ionate 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 k**ing 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]
