[Verse 1]
Backstage bathroom
writing names on the wall
Lipstick letters
saying I saved them all
Screenshots, stalkers
calling me their new god
I just wanted
one loud song, now it's gone (from me)
[Pre-Chorus]
Every DM feels like teeth
biting down, sweet and mean
Every playlist, every stream
building up, eating me
[Chorus]
Center of hell, everyone wants a piece of me
Line up, claws out, bite down, they don't let me breathe (yeah)
You can't stop listening
you can't stop listening
to my song, my curse, my pretty disease
Center of hell, everyone wants a piece of me
[Verse 2]
Cartoon eyes
on their bootleg tees
Fan art bleeding
in bright pastels of me
Parents praying
while their daughters scream
I said “love yourself”
they heard “die for the dream”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every stage light feels like heat
melting heart, blistered feet
Every “idol,” every “queen”
sounds like chains, sounds obscene
[Chorus]
Center of hell, everyone wants a piece of me
Line up, claws out, bite down, they don't let me breathe (hey)
You can't stop listening
you can't stop listening
to my song, my spell, my pretty disease
Center of hell, everyone wants a piece of me
[Bridge]
Turn it off
(I can’t)
pull the plug
(I’m trapped)
I am both the wound
and the contact high
Sing along
to my breakdown live
If I burn out
would you still press “rewind”?
[Chorus]
Center of hell, everyone wants a piece of me
Line up, claws out, bite down, they don't let me breathe
You can't stop listening
you can't stop listening
to my song, my ghost, my pretty disease
Center of hell, and you're taking
one more piece of me
