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.

[ObeyLucifer]

This has to be the saddest/one of the saddest songs Melanie has ever created. I'm so happy that this song wasn't scrapped too, it's so good and it doesn't deserve to be thrown in the pile of her other unreleased songs.

[dollytaylor]

Melanie is an honest human. Her music speaks to her experiences and we have a lot to relate to this. Period. Melanie thank you for your dark bringing us light

[agarcia]

I genuinely feel horrible for all the things mel had to go through but I’m glad she made such an amazing album with it

[davidriehle]

This song is a catalyst for all the pain and suffering she’s experienced. It acts as a method of cleansing, an outlet for her past negative experiences.

[LoreleiCarleski]

I hate that this song is underrated. She went through so much for us and she’s making AMAZING mvs, performing 2 SHOWS, making perfume and merch! She doesn’t deserve hate!

THE HAUNTING VOCALS, THE INSTRUMENTATION, THE SFX... SHE SERVED A COMPLETE MASTERPIECE

[thedarkone]

I just know this song is gonna be underrated af, it sounds so incredible, the instrumental and singing is so dark along with the lyircs and sounds like something straight out of royalty. What an incredible track.

[_ophelia.]

I love how this song is 3:21. Its an angel number meaning encouragement and support. Melanie's spirits are supporting her even in her sad times like in this song.

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
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

[yomomma]

those end noises at the end of the track with the yelling of the man and the banging are haunting. when i first heard it i thought it was my own parent yelling. it’s such a perfect touch to this song, it made me cry because i related to it sm

[JayKiwx]

Such an underrated song on the album, straight chills

[leonamae]

Gosh, I’ve listened to Melanie since I was 12, I’m now 21. Her voice has always sent chills down my spine. Her voice is so unique. It’s so beautiful.

[plaguedocjay]

Heavily underrated. This song made my partner cry. He was confused at first and then you could see the realization. Now he sings this with me whenever it comes on and we tear up everytime. If we look at each other, forget it; waterfall of tears. THIS SONG IS RAW AND REAL!

[irielais]

THE BACKGROUND SOUNDS, HER VOICE, THE LYRICS… SHE DID IT 💋💋💋

[yourlocal_crybaby]

This is really sad :( i feel bad for everything mel had to go through. This song is so hauntingly beautiful, it literally sends shivers down my spine. Lets all show our support to melanie, guys! 💗🍄

[Scott-hfid]

This song is growing on me. The instrumental part that happens twice throughout- one midway 1:22 - 1:35 and one at the end, is just something else.

[neptxnetips]

I love how Melanie's music is so unique and different from music these days, and how she's not afraid to change her whole aesthetic for the new album. She writes about important topics unlike most artists, who literally just sing about breakups or their lovers and stuff. Mel's music helps me through so much and Im so glad I'm alive the same time that she is

Each song I listen to I’m like “no this is my new favorite” 🥹
