Melanie Martinez - LEECHES Lyrics

[Verse 1]Leeches surrounded, conscience is throbbingThey can't sleep at night, hold their pillows tightCaught in the river of tears that I criedBountiful harvest, they flock to my gardenPush their way inside, I go run and hideThey lift all the covers, pull me into their sight[Pre-Chorus]Slimy and superficialStraining their artificial yapping to seem officialMaking it beneficial to their cause[Chorus]How much blood can you draw with your clawsFrom a flesh that's not yours?My hands aren't yours andGnaw on my bones no marrowLeft to keep you enthralledI guess that is the luck of the draw, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah[Verse 2]Let all their friends in, the enemy's presentThey don't think too hard 'bout your fragile heartThey eat off the table that you set, so you starveStop all your breathing (Huh)No, don't let them see youThey find any way just to make you stayRight where they want you in their piss-covered games[Pre-Chorus]Slimy and superficialStraining their artificial yapping to seem officialMaking it beneficial to their cause[Chorus]How much blood can you draw with your clawsFrom a flesh that's not yours?My hands aren't yours andGnaw on my bones no marrowLeft to keep you enthralledI guess that is the luck of the draw, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
