[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Slimy and superficial
Straining their artificial
Yapping to seem official
Making it beneficial to their cause
[Chorus]
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, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Slimy and superficial
Straining their artificial
Yapping to seem official
Making it beneficial to their cause
[Chorus]
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, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[@MonttMaybe]

"I guess that is the luck of the draw" hits SO hard

[@SantasNumberOneElf]

Definitely one of my favourite songs in the album. It has a certain otherworldly vibe around it.

[@omgdontyouknowimasavage-]

Underrated song. This is definitely a favorite.

[@rayaa2raww]

frr

[@ne0nfl4re]

Me too

[@littleIeaf.]

Agreed

[@firefly8188]

It's a good song but just the mention of leeches make me wanna throw up

[@EmotionAftermath]

I have no idea why I cried listening to this:')

[@_moonbaby_]

ME TOOOOO the melody itself can make me cry

[@Fairy_Golden_Dust]

GIRL!!! YOU MUST BE MY LONG LOST TWIN!!

[@milsmelody]

3:17 could possibly be Leo screaming but then again near the end he gets out of the closet but he’s trapped in the school, and it doesn’t sound like Leo is saying crybaby, more like Melanie

[@Lil._.St4rry]

I think its Oliver tree yelling at her

[@fairies-kill]

@@Lil._.St4rrywe just got confirmation that it’s neither it’s just from a sound library

[@tvbot1984]

The more I listen to this album the more I feel she’s speaking about the shadow government

[@_moonbaby_]

Honestly everything is possible with Melanie. She has so many layered meanings so I wouldn't doubt it.

[@Cherrie1913]

the chorus 😫

[@SavannaHicks910]

1:04 Has me crying its so goodd

[@nyx476]

Leeches is so good! Also Omg!!! Turns out Milk of sirens, which came out yesterday is sirens! I wanted to update you since I had asked a few days ago, but you were getting copyrighted. I am so unbelievably happy! Do you think you could make a lyric video for it since it is officially released?

[@_moonbaby_]

Yes of course! I am working my way through the album so expect one soon :)

[@RogerTessariStucky]

My favorite, this music let me go for other dimension. Is so beatiful the instrumental, and take me a vibe of mistery, and forest, mix wuth ghosts, and feeling of autumn. I love it!

[@SatinSober]

UNDERRATED 😢❤

[@killuaxsimppp9003]

My favorite song

♡♡♡

[@ne0nfl4re]

Just to make you slay

[@ne0nfl4re]

I actually hear how much blood can you drop😅😅

[@Ga_Asore]

At 3:17 theres how Oliver Tree screames at melanie....

[@_moonbaby_]

It hasn't been confirmed yet and Melanie did state she and Oliver are in good terms. But who knows...

[@angelbbkira]

Y’all are reaching sm 😭😭

[@iMasochist]

I don’t think so, She made a hint of him in ‘moon cycle’ and ‘Evil’ was about a toxic relationship which could be about him.

[@lauvinez]

Not everything melanie does is about oliver tree 😭😭😭

[@christle-jeanbunao9681]

melanie said in an interview that she doesnt care about oliver anymore and the end isnt about him or from him
