Baby Bugs - Tapeworms

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
