about

This song was an attempt to simplify my writing style. I had been trying very hard to write in complicated time signatures, with extended chords and even employing 12-tone techniques, but I needed to step back and try something different, as to give the album some diversity. The instruments in “Leech” were written at the same time that a lot of “Suffer” was written, though they have little in common. “Leech” is the only song on the record that doesn’t change time signature or tempo other than “Guilt.”

lyrics

Cut from your old ways
You are still sick, cesspool
of self indulgence
Consumed by self importance

You crossed the line

You’ll be dead to rights
Cuz we’ll find you, yeah we'll find you
There is no safe place to hide
Here in the spotlight

I can’t believe my eyes
I can’t believe the lies
Do you feel like a man
I’ll put you six feet under

You’ll be mistaken
and hopefully god forsaken
There will be no place
for you to rest your head

Condemned
Your crimes
Are nothing short of putrid
Condemned
Your life’s a facade, abusive

As the years go by
You’re still dead to rights
As you wither
Your mark won't fade

Leech, can’t you see
There's a plague in this life we lead
They try to silence everything and then
Caught between their lies
We'll cut the rope that held them up so high

They can't be
They can't be trusted
No

And there you stand motherfucker
With your feet on solid ground
Void of all remorse
We won’t sit out your trial

We’ll break the cycle
You rely upon
We’ll cut you out
Like the cancer you are

You’ll be mistaken
And hopefully god forsaken
There will be no place
For you to rest
