Your presence is far from casual, Your attention- overzealous Pitching all your attributes Self-market, oversell it A periscope within the crowd I exist, therefore you’re jealous

I could try to scrub you off (off) I could try to keep it clean (clean) But you are always coming back (back) This is such a pointless thing

You’ve left a filthy residue Worked your way in, the cracks and grooves Like hair and gum, paper and glue Can’t bring myself To discard you Remain, remain, remain, remain Today, tomorrow, yesterday

You’re sticking to my sunburned skin A painted sucker, a pretty leech Disinfectant in a bucket Alcohol and chlorine bleach You’re grinning as you grab my arm I’ll grimace and I’ll grit my teeth

I could try to scrub you off (off) I could try to keep it clean (clean) But you are always coming back (back) This is such a pointless thing

You’ve left a filthy residue Worked your way in, the cracks and grooves Like hair and gum, paper and glue Can’t bring myself To discard you Remain, remain, remain, remain Today, tomorrow, yesterday

Parasite and host Continue, keep me close Electric, static cling You keep on lingering Living in my tissue Living in my bones You’ve eaten up a part of me Now I can’t be alone

You’ve left a filthy residue Worked your way in, the cracks and grooves Like hair and gum, paper and glue Can’t bring myself To discard you Remain, remain, remain, remain Today, tomorrow, yesterday I could try to scrub you off (off) I could try to keep it clean (clean) But you are always coming back (back) This is such a pointless thing This is such a pointless thing
