Follow he down this May,
Follow he down to the dirt—
Follow he down and pray,
Pray that he stop this hurt—

Follow he down below the muck,
Follow he down into prison—
Follow he down and slowly pluck,
Pluck out the feelings of he missin—

Follow he down and end this love,
Follow he down and he might—
Follow he down, never go back above,
Never go back to the ultimate light.

Follow he down, so terribly low,
Follow he down until you no longer can—
Follow he down until loses he glow,
Lost his glow and lost your plan—

Follow he down and you will ache,
Follow he down and you will cry—
Follow he down and you will make
A h*** of a world, and a lie.

The author's comments:
In case you don't understand what it's about, it is using metaphor about bad relationships and how, though you may want to follow someone wherever, it will only hurt you in the end.
