about
Debut single Shadow Puppet was written in a notes app on the ride home after a party. Hit with a wave of exhaustion after a night surrounded by extroverts, the lyrics outline how it feels to mask one’s personality, resorting to feeling as though the only chance of acceptance is through mimicking the mannerisms of the less socially awkward.
lyrics
My hands
Shaking with the need to hold
To occupy themselves
Overwhelmed by everything I see
And I can't think about it
Or my breathing loses all control
You put me on a shelf
Just take me with you when it's time to go
I'd be your shadow
Cause I wanna be loved like you
I'd be your shadow
Puppet of the muse
My head
Burning with the anxious pulse
Of everybody's thoughts
About me and everybody else
And I'l dream about it
Every night when I'm alone
And I could laugh but the sound's too harsh
And I just wanna go home
I'd be your shadow
Cause I wanna be loved like you
I'd be your shadow
Puppet of the muse
Introduce me at the party
Or maybe don't
Yeah I wish I could be better
But I always choke
And I've been anxious and wasted with my nails between
The front four features of my ground down teeth
I'd be your shadow
Cause I wanna be loved like you
I'd be your shadow
Puppet of the muse
