    I don’t understand why this is everyone’s least favorite. People keep skipping it, but I feel like this is one of Melanie’s most heartbreaking and open songs. I feel like crying every time I listen to it, and you can feel the sadness in her voice. This is so beautiful.

    Leeches ❤
    Leeches surrounded
    Conscience is throbbin'
    They can't sleep at night
    Hold their pillows tight
    Caught in the river
    Of tears that I cried
    Bountiful harvest
    They flock to my garden
    Push their way inside
    I go run and hide
    They lift all the covers, pull me
    Into their sight
    Slimy and superficial
    Strainin' their artificial
    Yappin' to seem official
    Makin' it beneficial to their cause
    How much blood can you draw with your claws
    From a flesh that's not yours?
    My hands aren't yours and
    Gnaw on my bones, no marrow left
    To keep you enthralled
    I guess that is the luck of the draw, oh-oh-oh
    Let all their friends in
    The enemy's present
    They don't think too hard
    'Bout your fragile heart
    They eat off the table that you set
    So you starve
    Stop all your breathing
    No, don't let them see you
    They'll find any way
    Just to make you stay
    Right where they want you
    In their piss-covered games
    Slimy and superficial
    Strainin' their artificial
    Yappin' to seem official

      Yeah, me too. I really thought this song was a skip because I never heard the middle part. It’s a beautiful song. I would put it in top 2. The first part isn’t downbeat and like the rest of the song, that’s would got me set down. One I gave it a full listen it was a really good song. At first, I just listened to the original, and the ‘best’ ones, like ‘Death’ and ‘Void’ which aren’t the best ones by far, they’re just the first ones on the album. ‘I guess it’s just the the luck of the draw’ really captivated my mind. It really summarized what melanie had to go though over the years. In fact, this whole song did. No other song of hers, even outside of the album has this much story behind it. It has the perfect tune and perfect pitch. It even sounds go sped up and backwards, which is a quality that most music does not have. Also, ‘yapping to seem official’ was just a really good lyric. It was the perfect transition to the peak of the song, which is the middle. I know I said before I would put it at top two, but now, I change my mind. It is top 1. It’s the best song in the album. Unlike some songs in this album, it just has the perfect lyrics and tune. So, I agree. This song is very beautiful and did not capture my eye in the first listen, but once I listened to it closely, it became my favorite song in the whole playlist.

    @Patiphie 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    The "leeches" thats Melanie's referring too is us the fans. Yapping to seem official is saying that things are and arent going to be out when we dont know that so we make ot official that it is or isnt happening. How much blood can you draw with your claws is symbolizing to how much information can you get out of me. Also gnaw on my bones no marrow left is saying weve taking all the information out and are waiting for more so we can leak all the information we get.
    Leeches is an amazing song and is very underrated in the album. One of the most beautiful songs and only some people realize it. We love you Melanie❤❤

    Lyrics:
    Leeches surrounded, conscience is throbbing
    They can't sleep at night, hold their pillows tight
    Caught in the river of tears that I cried
    Bountiful harvest, they flock to my garden
    Push their way inside, I go run and hide
    They lift all the covers, pull me into their sight
    Slimy and superficial
    Straining their artificial yapping to seem official
    Making it beneficial to their cause
    How much blood can you draw with your claws
    From a flesh that's not yours?
    My hands aren't yours and
    Gnaw on my bones no marrow
    Left to keep you enthralled
    I guess that is the luck of the draw
    Let all their friends in, the enemy's present
    They don't think too hard 'bout your fragile heart
    They eat off the table that you set, so you starve
    Stop all your breathing (Huh)
    No, don't let them see you
    They find any way just to make you stay
    Right where they want you in their piss-covered games
    Slimy and superficial
    Straining their artificial yapping to seem official
    Making it beneficial to their cause
    How much blood can you draw with your claws
    From a flesh that's not yours?
    My hands aren't yours and
    Gnaw on my bones no marrow
    Left to keep you enthralled

    At this point I feel that my sadness is not taken seriously, I sometimes end up crying but that person doesn’t care. She just jokes.
    I feel ashamed of myself because I feel I’m such a crybaby, but I always end up saying “I guess that’s how things are”

      I accidentally listened to 2 of them not realising they were leaks and I was so annoyed, so I would just search her channel (because the leaks were in my recommended, so annoyed!)

    I really like the guitar, I feel like this is an accurate way of describing toxic people and society in general. This song deserves more recognition.

    This song is talking about those ppl who are pretending that they came to help you but they actually take advantage of you and use it for their negative and bad dark goals
    But hey why no body is talking about that men who is screaming at the end of the video
