Parasite

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
