Lyrics transcribed by me then uploaded to Genius :)

[verse 1]
I got a pair of parasites with an endless appetite
They’ve been taking all the life outta me
And at first I didn’t mind ‘cause I thought that they were kind
At the time I kinda liked the company

[pre-chorus]
But they’re
Each like a leech like worms in the beach
Feasting like germs, taking turns when I’m weak
They’re each like a leech like sharks at the beach
Preying on me

[chorus]
And I can’t go on
Can’t go on
I’m barely hanging on
Soon I’ll be paralyzed
These parasites have fought me blind
I should’ve known it all along
I can’t go on

[refrain]
I can’t go on
I can’t go on

[verse 2]
I got a pair of scary scars, couple burns from old cigars
From the time I tried to singe them off my skin
And I know it sounds bizarre, but they said they’d take me far
So that’s why I thought that I should let them in

[pre-chorus]
But they’re
Each like a leech like worms in the beach
Feasting like germs, taking turns when I’m weak
They’re each like a leech like sharks at the beach
Preying on me

[chorus]
And I can’t go on
Can’t go on
I’m barely hanging on
Soon I’ll be paralyzed
These parasites have fought me blind
I should’ve known it all along
I can’t go on

[bridge]
I was tryna be a good host
The scent of deceit in my nose
Why’d I let these people impose on me?
Watch me now as I decompose
Nothing left here now but my clothes
If you come around, leave a rose for me

[chorus]
‘Cause I can’t go on
Can’t go on
I’m barely hanging on
Soon I’ll be paralyzed
These parasites have fought me blind
I should’ve known it all along
I can’t go on

[outro]
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
