Parasite Lyrics

[Chorus]
Parasite
Leeching off my pain, never satisfied
Till I'm fully drained
You're a parasite
Playing with my name just to stay alive
What a poor pathetic parasite

[Verse 1]
Climb social ladders
Slash another honest throat
Walls of cadavers
Savage way to build a home
If your pain's their pain
Then maybe you are not alone
Sick, delusional pest
Stuck to the host

[Chorus]
No, you're just a parasite
Leeching off my pain, never satisfied
Till I'm fully drained
You're a parasite
Playing with my name just to stay alive
What a poor pathetic parasite
[Verse 2]
You insert your fucking nose knowing it doesn't belong
Strike a nerve or wreck a home hoping you get a response
And I curse that fucking nurse for letting you fall out your mom
You're just a piggybacking sycophant
The ant I'm stepping on
If I'm such a wreck, then why so obsessive?
Devil playing God
Performative mess, just craving attention
Taking what you want
From me so you're not obsolete
Sinking your teeth, I'll bleed
But all you'll be is just a

[Chorus]
Parasite
Leeching off my pain, never satisfied
Till I'm fully drained
You're a parasite
Playing with my name just to stay alive
What a poor pathetic parasite

Parasite

[Bridge]
You insert your fucking nose knowing it doesn't belong
Strike a nerve or wreck a home hoping you get a response
And I curse that fucking nurse for letting you fall out your mom
You're just a piggybacking sycophant
[Chorus]
And you're just a parasite
Leeching off my pain, never satisfied
Till I'm fully drained
You're a parasite
Playing with my name just to stay alive
What a poor pathetic parasite
