Parasites

Speaking only to hear their own voice

Empty vessels making so much noise

For our sanity's sake, we'll torch the ground

And salt the earth in our wake

They rise just to drop like flies

I can't watch as they breed and multiply

Draw blood, you parasites

Flatline, as you pull the splinters from your eye

I won't watch you plead your case

High up on your soapbox stage

As you appoint yourself authority

Condemner of youth

Not even the truth will set you free

Who put the crown on your head?

You're not a king of anything

You'll burn in the eyes of the world

So cast your stones

And close your fists

In a house of glass

You better not miss

Is this the attention you crave?

You won't find peace, may you turn in your grave

So bury the bones

Burn all the evidence and carry on like nobody knows

What you've been dragging around

The bloodied names and the rise of the body count

Don't dare to break the mould, shut up and do as you're told

I don't remember how the fuck it got so

Overcomplicated, the truth is overrated

And when the chips are down

They'll burn it to the fucking ground

For the ones who refuse to admit

For the contrarian hypocrites

Those who live to provoke

As venom spills from your throat

I hope you choke

I, I hope you choke

So sink your teeth in till you

Draw blood

Draw blood, you parasites

Why don't you show your face?

Step into the light

Who put the crown on your head?

You're not a king of anything

You'll burn in the eyes of the world

So cast your stones

And close your fists

In a house of glass

You better not miss

Is this the attention you crave?

You won't find peace, may you turn in your grave

As you rise

You drop like flies

I can't watch

You multiply

Why search for the source of a lie?

It's easier to deride what you can't deny

I won't watch you plead your case

High up on your soapbox stage

As you appoint yourself authority

Condemner of youth, not even the truth will set you free
