The song is about being on the receiving end of the cruelty endured in asymmetrical relationships. I’ve found that if I describe the beast devouring me, I can start to distance myself and move on with my life. The worm in this case is me.
Take the easy way out I dare you
You won’t feel the pain
Is that not what friends are for?
I can give you all that you don’t want
And you’ll pull my teeth
Don’t think this makes you different
Another brick, another scar
You wear a crown but you’re no king
Yet I’m addicted to you
You wear a crown but you’re no king
It’s never enough, nothing’s too far
Shun the non-believer
Did you put the dog to sleep
Did you crush that worm?
You’re the one to live with what you’ve done
Yet I’m addicted to you
You wear a crown but you’re no king
Nobody else will cut me like you do
And I will give you all that you don’t want
