In Your Shadow

from Total Education by Mopey

/

lyrics

some of us lead
some of us follow
baby i'm the tail
that you swallow

in your shadow
under your wing
your protective hand
is strangling me

i can abase myself
for your entertainment
and you can condescend
cause that's the meaning of friendship

it's not your approval that i seek
it's your disdain i crave
confirmation of my condemnation
i'm not looking to be saved

i can live through you
you can die through me
a mutual exchange
in parasitic sycophanty

like conjoined twins who share a heart
only one of us can survive
once i've smothered you with my sickening need
you'll be rotting while i thrive
