Parasite
♪
It's like there's something inside me
Sinking its teeth in deeper and deeper
But you wouldn't suspect a thing
I hear its voice inside my head
There is no antidote to keep it suppressed
Losing the fight to keep control
But it'll kill us both before it ever lets go
What a sick game
I'd tear my tongue from my throat
To save you hearing everything that it says
Can't you see that I'm complicated?
I don't want to be this way, but I can not escape it
So that's why
I can't let you see
(Look at me, just fucking look at me)
What's really underneath
(Please don't walk away)
The pain is all I keep
(Just fucking help me)
And I'm so fucking scared that I'll let you in
And then you'll see that I'm a parasite
♪
I've surrendered to the nightmare
Where when it feeds I bleed, it's never enough
Splitting every inch of skin, until it's tender to touch
And at the surface it returns as if my face is the mask
It's grip around my throat, no promise it'll ever unlatch
So when it feeds, I bleed, but I've given up
There's no skin left on the surface, I am merely the cuts
So try and run, but it won't give up the chase
Feed you to the parasite, because it likes how you taste
I know
♪
I know that when you leave
Another vessel comes to me
♪
I fear for eternity
I can't let you see
(Look at me, just fucking look at me)
What's really underneath
(Please don't walk away)
The pain is all I keep
(Just fucking help me)
And I'm so fucking scared that I'll let you in
And then you'll see that I'm a parasite
