Tapeworms Lyrics by Baby Bugs

Genesis

2022

[Verse 1]
They're happy if you're skin and bones
They're happy when you're fighting for your life
They don't care if you're hungry now
They'll notice when your stomach's 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 fucking loud
I hear what they say about me now
But I'm stuck in this useless body
[Chorus]
They tell me to swallow tapeworms
To eat up all my sin
They tell me to starve my fucking sеlf
'Til I can wear size negativе ten
My body feels like hell and I know this feeling well
Gonna rip off all of my skin
He says I'll feel sick
At least I'll get pretty again
[Verse 2]
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 that 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 try to take a stand, but I always fall
[Chorus]
And they tell me to swallow tapeworms
To eat up all my sin
They tell me to starve my fucking self
'Til I can wear size negative ten
My body feels like hell and I know this feeling well
Gonna rip off all of my skin
He says I'll feel sick
At least I'll get—
I won't swallow tapeworms
My luck has not run out
You wouldn't say I'm perfect
But I'm happier, no doubt
The body that I'm in, it's 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
