Tapeworms Lyrics

They're happy if you're skin and bones

They're happy if you're fighting for your life

They don't care if your hungry now

They notice when your stomachs out

They're mad when you're so weak you want to die

And I can't keep them happy now

I've done all that I know how

I'll cover up my skin to make you comfortable

They won't stop talking so fucking loud

I hear what they say about me now

But I'm stuck in this useless body

They tell me to swallow tape worms

To eat up all my sin

They tell me to starve my fucking self

Until I can wear a size negative ten

My body feels like hell

And I know this feeling well

Gonna rip off all my skin

He says I'll feel sick but at least I'll get pretty again

They're happy when you shut your mouth

They're happy when you have nothing to say

And this is what I have been taught

Eighteen years of shitty luck I guess it was meant to be this way

But I can't let them hide me again

I've done my fucking best to stand

So why do they want me so weak and small

I'm done hiding the scars you gave

My body's not meant for your grave

I'll try to take a stand but I always fall

They tell me to swallow tape worms

To eat up all my sin

They tell me to starve my fucking self

Until I can wear a size negative ten

My body feels like hell And I know this feeling well

Gonna rip off all my skin he says

I'll feel sick but at least I'll get

No I won't swallow tape worms

My luck has not run out

You wouldn't say I'm perfect

But I'm happier no doubt

The body I'm in

Its been with me thick and thin and

I wouldn't be here without

I'm who I'm meant to be

I know that makes me

Pretty again
