The Fucking Flea

Wanted to chart a course so big              
but I'm just a fucking flea              
burrow deep down in your skin              
you'll die from insanity              
called you names on tic tok              
so a tick I'm bound to be              
leave a little of myself              
my angst your lyme disease              
black fly buzzing around your head              
as you sink into the sea              
calmly wait for your lungs              
blood you will concede              
the chandelier shines bright              
sweating from the heat              
quite alright  i'm a parasite              
they've banned me from my tweet              
without you I won't survive              
though I'm not about to leave              
doctor said, no need to worry            
you're just a fucking flea
