Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Right to the Bible of me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow Subscribe to the cycle of me Young girl, witch birth See her perfect See her earn it See her work it Save her please Life is performance Dining on laxative teas Full lips, bruised knees Through the need to fit in Which is hardly a sin, is it? Hardly a sin Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Right to the temple of me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow Get experimental with me Follow, get experimental with me What's he doing? What's she wearing? Where's he been? And who's she dating? Neatly captioned, sweetly angled Expert selfies in excelsis Bask in the glow of it Bask in the glow of its blue-lit screen approval Rabbit hole quest of edits and hues Participant to democracy world of keyboards and touchscreens Obscene Veins bared daily to digital sedating Social media subscribed since age five But don't undermine her, this minor is smarter than you'll ever be Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Right to the pulpit of me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Filter and sculpt it with me She, defiant she Brushes worlds from between her teeth Strokes rites from the folds of her hair She cleanses the history and types the old tales on her tablet Texting in tongues One painted toe dipped in self-loathing She knows that her world is constructed She knows that it hangs precarious A pretty card house in the face of tornadoes She is the daughter of the information age Of course she knows She knows Take her and make her your carbon copy Take her and make her your chorus mould A slave to expectation, she craves to be Superbly normal, exquisitely mundane Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Right to the prophet of me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow Don't somebody's daughter with me Meanwhile this city is drowning in rain An insistent, persistent, ancient threat A message, a pre-crisis warning Reminder the planet is warming But Envy fronts the era Of natural marketers, organic entrepreneurs She will take the surging river and label it tropical She'll make you believe it all Waiting for the world to fall not with a bang But with a tweet and flame emoji And although she knows it Although her perfect teeth are set on edge by it Truth mars her fantasy And closes her eyes Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Right to the altar of me Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me Lamb to the slaughter it seems Somebody's daughter, lamb to the slaughter Her selfie side-by-side With a Greenpeace caution Move attention from destruction to underage seduction An influx of digital love brings comfort Makes Envy Tonight A little less empty
