lyrics

I’ve got a parasite
Living in my brain
Promising me pleasure
But it only brings pain
You do you do
You don't know what it’s like
To have such a
Dirty mind

I'm sorry, I hate it, but
I pictured you naked
I’ve got no religion
To help with these cravings
Some days feel like faking
I'm acting like your friend
While secretly imagining
Myself inside your bed

It’s hard to keep it in my head
With all these whispers
I feel like I deserve a prize
Every time I resist them
This isn't personal
But yes it is explicit
I'm hoping and I'm praying
That you'll understand the difference

It's not about you, no
It's more like a reflex
And my major defect
Is picturing cheap sex
Got no lack of respect
Except in my mind, where
"I think about the girl
All the time," there

Blame it on high T
Blame it on high stress
Blame it on that dress
Blame it on that chest
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me

Blame it on high T
Blame it on high stress
Blame it on that dress
Blame it on that chest
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me

Notching a bedpost
Who’s getting head most?
Trying to keep up
With my friends’ boasts
Trying to get close
Just to improve my stats
Friends are joking
‘Cause they think she’s fat

“Go forth my son”
Where’d this come from
And who drove it?
It’s culture, just cloaked in hormones
Telling you a whore moans
Cause she enjoys it
Perpetuating rape myths
Pumping the poison

Turning the normal expression
Of sex into sexism
Damsel in distress
Is a misogynistic mess
The volcano that we made
And blessed, it needs victims
Who are we to question
That they’re women?

Blame it on high T
Blame it on high stress
Blame it on that dress
Blame it on that chest
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me

Blame it on high T
Blame it on high stress
Blame it on that dress
Blame it on that chest
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me

Blame it on high T
I heard that you liked me
Why would you act cold?
Your fingers are icy
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me

Blame it on high T
I heard that you liked me
Why would you act cold?
Your fingers are icy
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
Don’t blame it on me
