Carla Dal Forno Don't Follow Me
Fireworks explode in the sky
Disguise the sound of voices nearby
For a minute I'm thrown off the track
And thus absorbed I don't watch my back
Breathing heavy he steps off the path
I meet his eye and try to think fast
Recourse to violence is all very well
But he looks stronger so I run and I yell
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
Don't follow
My heart beats heavy, my feet feel like lead
The forest branches stretch out ahead
Colours flashing appear in the sky
I run towards them I don't want to die
A crowd emerges straight through the trees
Their faces laughing and talking with ease
I've almost reached them I'm feeling so faint
But he has tripped me and now it's too late
And still I yell
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
Don't follow
