Flies Lyrics
down, start digging down your throat
another string of lies is born
you must exemplify perfection
bronzing a broken life of shit
you filthy liar
septic tongue; shit-eating grin
slow internal suicide
an inch within a trigger's pull again
this disease, it is your mainstay
it wears its wires within me
tender tissues scraped away of secrets
etched in nameless graves
the smell of vomit hangs in the air tonight
blush, eyeliner, lipstick
it's all alright tonight
you filthy liar
septic tongue; shit-eating grin
love me with your yellowed smile
my flies are hungry for your kiss
poison me my darling
graves grow deeper with each passing day
this appalling love
bask in your putrid revelry
beauty lost in between the lashes of sick drunken eye
like a fool, you have believed
life of shame, you have fallen completely beneath
and when the curtains finally part,
you'll see that everyone is laughing
I am weakness, just like you
I'll bury you before you're dead
cockroach come crawling home!
crawl!
slithering through this world of sculpted shit
so thrust those fingers deep my child,
it is your burden and your gift
you filthy liar
septic tongue; shit-eating grin
slow internal suicide
an inch within a trigger's pull again
poison me my darling
graves grow deeper with each passing day
this appalling love
bask in your putrid revelry!
another string of lies is born
you must exemplify perfection
bronzing a broken life of shit
septic tongue; shit-eating grin
slow internal suicide
an inch within a trigger's pull again
it wears its wires within me
tender tissues scraped away of secrets
etched in nameless graves
the smell of vomit hangs in the air tonight
blush, eyeliner, lipstick
it's all alright tonight
septic tongue; shit-eating grin
love me with your yellowed smile
my flies are hungry for your kiss
graves grow deeper with each passing day
this appalling love
bask in your putrid revelry
beauty lost in between the lashes of sick drunken eye
life of shame, you have fallen completely beneath
you'll see that everyone is laughing
I am weakness, just like you
I'll bury you before you're dead
crawl!
slithering through this world of sculpted shit
so thrust those fingers deep my child,
it is your burden and your gift
septic tongue; shit-eating grin
slow internal suicide
an inch within a trigger's pull again
graves grow deeper with each passing day
this appalling love
bask in your putrid revelry!

I think it sounds a bit like bulimia, especially when he says, "So thrust your fingers deep, my child. It is your burden and your gift."
its a story about someone who is being fake and evil while the narrator just sits and takes it
when trevor says shit eating grin i thought he said jenny craig, weird
the lines "you filthy liar septic tongue; shit-eating grin" reminds me of a person i have the misfortune to know
Trevor has stated in an interview that this song is about a failed relationship with a recovering bulimic. He wasn't too specific, but I think it's something he actually experienced.
i think this song is about the girls at my school
Yeah Trevor stated this song was about a failed love affair with a recovering bulimic, but he never stated whether it was fictional, or based on an actual experience..
Will we ever know?
it's about a guy who swallowed a flie that shat in his mouth
