Static in my bloodstream Needles in the television grin Everybody wants a little piece Of the sickness underneath my skin You smile like a loaded weapon Lipstick smeared like a crime scene prayer Your love tastes chemical sweet Like poison sprayed into the air I hear the dogs bark in my head Chained up rage beneath the bed Everybody pets the monster nice Until it learns to bite Chorus: Pretty little parasites Wrapped in glitter, dressed in lies Feed me wires, feed me dirt Tell me I deserve the hurt Plastic teeth and broken leashes Violence blooming like black roses Everybody wants control Nobody wants the damaged soul Bruised halo, crooked spine Built from every wasted night You pull my strings with painted nails Watch me choke beneath your light I scratch messages in the drywall With bleeding hands and splintered nerves You call it love — I call it war A slow infection that burns Chorus: Pretty little parasites Wrapped in perfume, drenched in spite Kiss my scars and call it art While you carve apart my heart Plastic teeth and broken leashes Bodies twitching, spirits speechless Everybody loves the freak Until the freak learns how to speak Bridge: No gods in the mirror No saints in this machine Just fractured mouths screaming Inside fluorescent dreams I was your experiment Your stitched-up little toy Now the animal is rabid Now the silence is destroyed Final Chorus: Pretty little parasites Watch the whole damn circus die I spit the nails back from my throat Turn your kingdom into smoke Plastic teeth and broken leashes No more crawling, no more pleading You created this disease Now you choke on what you feed.
